(unknown device tikzstandalone)

On octave 4.4.0 windows


>> gnuplot_binary C:\Programs\gp523-64\bin\gnuplot
>> graphics_toolkit gnuplot
>> fplot ("[cos(x), sin(x)]", [0, 2*pi])
>> print("test.tikz", "-dtikzstandalone")
error: print: unknown device tikzstandalone
error: called from
    __print_parse_opts__ at line 259 column 5
    print at line 322 column 8

>> print("test.tikz", "-dtikz")
## works for tikz but not tikzstandalone
-verbatim

The same behavior appears 4.4.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 (bbuild myself).

I have not tested on dev. branch. 
I will do to today afternoon in Japan.

tikzstandalone print device is described in the manual 

https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/Printing-and-Saving-Plots.html#Printing-and-Saving-Plots

In the maintainers ML, Ben made a reply that told us what was done in the
past. tikzstandalone print device has not been implemented although it has
been described in the manual.   

I request that next release of octave implements this feature.
