Details:


I think I have noticed an issue with incorrectly warning about shadowing of
function in +package directories in the dev build (I am going to use +package
to refer to Matlab style package directories, as opposed to Octave packages).

If I have a function in +package I get a shadowing warning against functions
of the same name in the global namespace. In recent builds this is issued on
every single command. I have done the following to test this.

create a directory call +testpckg

Created a function file 'inverse.m' in this directory (there is an Octave
built-in inverse function). This new function should be in the testpkg
namespace and not clash with the built-in.

The directory containing +testpckg is added to the path on startup by running
genpath on a higher level directory. I have checked that the directory
+testpckg is not in the path, but the directory containing it is.

On startup I get the warning:

warning: function .../mfiles/octave-test/+testpckg/inverse.m shadows a
built-in function

This isn't so bad, but as I mentioned, I now also get the same warning with
every single command entered at the Octave prompt.
