What does it do differently than

\usepackage{listings}

\begin{lstlisting}[language=Octave]
a = 1;    # Octave comment
b = 2;
c = a^2 + b^2;
for i = 1:10
 disp (i)
endfor
\end{lstlisting}

it seems it only defines a different set of default styles for matlab language 
than is defined in listings.sty
but that package already contains a set of defaults for Octave that I like and 
use a lot, and it also takes care 
of Octave-only keywords like "endif", "endfor", "endfunction" etc….
