Dear Octave team,

This is an adjustment that improves the compatibility of Octave with Matlab
syntax.

I made an adjustment to the legend() command. In Matlab it is possible to
specify the Location of the legend using only an abbreviation. For example:
NorthEast may be abbreviated as NE. This optional notation is clearly
mentioned in the Matlab help text for the legend() command, but I noticed
today that this optional notation is not possible in Octave. I use this syntax
rather often, therefor I made a relatively simple adjustment to allow this
input in the legend.m file in lines 244-289.

I checked if the function works.

Example test of the new code:
x=0:0.1:10;
y1=x;
y2=x.^2;
figure;
plot(x,y1,x,y2)
legend('y1','y2','Location','NW')

I attached the original legend.m file as well a my adjusted version.

regards,
Alwin Brettschneider
