Instead of overriding the help and input commands, would it be better
to modify them to call "hook" functions that will allow you to do what
you need?  It seems bad to replace the functions entirely, because
then if Octave's input and help functions are modified in the future,
your function might not do all that is necessary.  You would have to
track the changes in Octave, and keeping in sync will be problematic.
