That's a possibility, but I don't see how we reliably match up the
directories given that we have core and site directory trees and
anyone can create their own (even more than one).  If all are merged,
then a user would have access to core private functions simply by
creating (for example) a ~/octave/polynomial directory and adding it
to the path.
