Currently, most of Octave uses a style for error and warning messages that is something like this:

  warning ("nchoosek: possible loss of precision");

but now that error and warning messages display stack trace information by default, having the name of the function as a prefix for the message is redundant.  Does anyone object to removing the function name as a prefix to error and warning messages?

Seems reasonable.
