[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #31583] pre-register available backends

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #31583 (project octave):

I don't want to have to instantiate/initialize a backend to know whether it
is available.  I would like to separate the idea of registering a backend as
available (just adding a name to a list) from the initialization of a backend.
 Then I think we could just have a function that could be called from a
PKG_ADD file that would add the name of the backend to the list of available
backends.  Does that make sense?
