Although I'm not sure whether "help" and "which" really build the parse tree
(maybe), your hint led me to the function lookup_by_name in src/variables.cc
which seems to do what I need. Thank you!

What I plan to do is to improve the interpeter speed. Don't ask for details
- I am at the very beginning. And therefore I want to reuse the parse tree
built by octave whereever possible and change the implementation where
profiling indicates the highest expected gain.
