Details:

Whe warning  "function foo.m shadows a core library function"
is missing for some circumstances.

The following statements assumes that there is a function "flip.m" that
shadows a core library function.
 

1) 
When starting octave with  "octave-cli" It checks the pwd for any function
that shadows and reports it at start up.

When starting octave with "octave" (run GUI) there is no warning.

2)
Running octave-cli and then addpath to a folder that has "flip.m" octave then
gives a warning.

Running octave-cli and then CD to a folder that has "flip.m" and no warning is
given.

3) 
Running GUI and CD or addpath there is no warning issued.
