[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46603] add or document a way to determine whether format is "compact" or "loose"

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #46603 (project octave):

FTR, just installed Matlab r2016a prerelease and tried:

>> format compact
>> isoctave
ans =
     0
>> ver
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MATLAB Version: 9.0.0.307022 (R2016a) Prerelease
<snip>

>> get (0, 'FormatSpacing')
ans =
compact
>> get (0, 'Format')
ans =
short
>> 


On Matlab's format reference documentation page
(http://nl.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/format.html), the above calls are
clearly referenced w/o any mention of deprecation.

Apparently TMW's release notes team and web page contents team could improve
their mutual communication :-)
