[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42536] Expand and correct Manual (octave.pdf) Section 15.3.3

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #42536 (project octave):

My opinion about hidden properties is that they should not be visible at all
in the interpreter. The only documentation for those properties should be
found in graphics.in.h or better in doxygen.

I have even posted an approach proposal to fix bug #32497, which consists in
avoiding hidden properties to be taken into account during abbrev matching.
With this approach, the error message after "get (h, "")" would not show
hidden properties anymore.   
 
Hiding/Exposing a property is as simple as adding/removing a "h" in
libinterp/corefcn/graphics.in.h, so that if a given property happens to become
interesting from the user point of view we can show it easily.
