Yes, somewhere it should be explained that a DEFUN function always
returns an octave_value_list object, but that the octave_value_list
class has a constructor

  octave_value_list (const octave_value&) { ... }

that will automatically convert an octave_value to an
octave_value_list so if a DEFUN function only returns one value, it
is common practice to declare the returned value as an octave_value
object.
