Details:

Running the BIST for `tars` of the package "struct" 1.0.16 in Octave 6.0.92
fails with the following error:

>> test tars
***** shared s, x, y, z
 x = 2;
 y = 3;
 z = "foo";
 s = tars (x, y, z);
!!!!! test failed
'argn' undefined near line 26, column 26
shared variables   scalar structure containing the fields:

    s = [](0x0)
    x = [](0x0)
    y = [](0x0)
    z = [](0x0)


It looks like the automatic variable `argn` has been removed. It should
probably be replaced with `inputname (n)`.

CC'ing Olaf Till as the package maintainer.
