Follow-up Comment #2, bug #50539 (project octave):
Indeed, unless things have changed recently, Matlab's "builtin" function will
only call those functions that are really built-in to Matlab, not core
functions that are implemented as .m files.
This is likely to be a constant source of incompatibility since there is no
guarantee that the functions built-in to Matlab will also be built-in to
Octave.
I guess this also makes it difficult for TMW to change the implementation of a
built-in function to be a .m file instead, since some users may depend on
calling certain functions through the "builtin" function.
