I should add that before dismissing the idea of eliminating the DEFUN() 
in preference to a C++ class-based approach because of the work of 
converting what looks to be 780 such definitions (I did a "grep" on the 
source tree and then "wc"), once you have a prototype function designed 
in C++, one could write an Octave script that scans the source tree 
replacing all XDEFUNs, then DEFUNs, etc. with the new prototype.
