Details:

`help` interacts badly with classdef-style classes.  After I do `help
classname`, I cannot access the help of any methods (except ones I accessed
before `help classname`.


>> help pyobject
error: help: 'pyobject' is not documented
>> help @pyobject/display
error: help: '@pyobject/display' is not documented
>> help @pyobject/dummy
error: help: '@pyobject/dummy' is not documented

("@pyobject/dummy" is documented).

But if I restart Octave and try the commands in a different order:


>> help @pyobject/display
'@pyobject/display' is a function from the file
/home/cbm/src/pytave.hg.mine/@pyobject/display.m

 -- Method on @pyobject: display (X)
     Custom display for pyobjects.

>> help pyobject
error: help: 'pyobject' is not documented
>> help @pyobject/dummy
error: help: '@pyobject/dummy' is not documented
