Follow-up Comment #3:

I refreshed the patch to apply against the current development branch and
pushed it here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/9a1b193ddd01).

The problem with nested functions is trickier.  Attached is a small diff that
I used just for testing.  It shows that, for a nested function, the depth is
correct (goes to 2 rather than 1), but that the help_text is that of the
enclosing function.  It looks like a joint fix with the lexer and parser will
be required to support help for nested functions.
