[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40319] deleting script file in a function/script doesn't update the symbol table

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #40319 (project octave):

Because delete may not always be used to delete script files? It seems a
little hackish to me to reload the path in a function that may or may not add
or remove a function that's in the symbol table. What about
unlink("script.m")? What about system("rm -f script.m")? Or what if script is
never called again after the delete, why bother reloading the path?

It seems better to try to reload the path and look up again on demand when a
symbol is actually used and can't be found.
