Well, Octave is now also a GUI, and arguably it's also a bunch of C++
libraries to wrap around Fortran libraries (liboctave). I don't know,
I found the plain "src/" name to no longer be descriptive. Octave is
no longer primarily just an interpreter. With the GUI, now it looks
like the interpreter is but one important component of Octave, but now
Octave is also an editor, documentation browser, and a source-level
debugger.
