Details:

A follow-up from bug #44324 : while not explicitly documented with Matlab, it
is possible to call close(...,'force') with the first argument being a figure
handle, while Octave only accepts 'all':


>> close(figure,'force')
error: close: first argument must be "all" with "hidden" or "force"
error: called from
    close at line 85 column 7


Would it be ok to allow this particular syntax?
