[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40551] Support user-configurable template files for new function and oct files

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #40551 (project octave):

                 Summary: Provide template files for new function files =>
Support user-configurable template files for new function and oct files

Follow-up Comment #2:

The original comment in the linked bug report was about allowing the user to
create their own custom templates instead of using the hardcoded template that
is in edit.m. This could be done with a particular file name in the user's
path, in some ~/.config or ~/.octave "well-known" location, or with a hook
function that returns the text to write into the new file. It was also
mentioned to support keyword substitution for things like author name, date,
copyright, license, etc, similar to what the hardcoded templates in edit.m do
currently.

Retitling this bug report to reflect that.
