Details:

I was just browsing the manual, and I noticed that 'boolean indexing' seems to
be mentioned exactly once, namely in the section about 'Basic vectorization'.

The section about index expressions, however, states that "Indices may be
scalars, vectors, ranges, or the special operator ‘:’, which may be used
to select entire rows or columns."

I think boolean indexing should be made more prominent, since although I've
been using Octave for nearly a decade, boolean indexing managed to escape my
notice until only a few weeks ago.

Thanks,

Alex
