[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48221] prefdir should not be a private function

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #48221 (project octave):

At some point Matlab may have moved this around.  It is certainly dead simple
to move it up from the private directory into the 'prefs' directory where it
will be visible.

I don't know that we need to bother to support prefdir(1) syntax.  Octave
automatically creates the file '.octave_prefs' as necessary.  Of course, we
could always just  document that you can call it that way.

Also, Octave supports preferences, but we support them in a UNIX way which is
to have an rc file in the user's home directory.  We don't use a separate
folder, ~/.octave/, to hold that rc file.
