Details:

I am getting warnings of the following type in Octave (but not in MATLAB):

warning: function ./+pointer_reference/get.m shadows a built-in function
warning: function ./+pointer_reference/set.m shadows a built-in function
warning: function ./+template_partial_specialization/I.m shadows a built-in
function
warning: function ./+template_partial_specialization/J.m shadows a built-in
function
warning: function ./+template_partial_specialization_typedef/I.m shadows a
built-in function
warning: function ./+template_partial_specialization_typedef/J.m shadows a
built-in function
warning: function ./+typedef_sizet/size.m shadows a built-in function

I don't see why shadowing a built-in function inside a +package would be bad.
Since there always has to be a prefix (especially since Octave doesn't
implement MATLAB's "import"), I don't see how there could be any ambiguity.
