    _______________________________________________________

Details:

In octave 5.2.0, methods('java.lang.Double') 
did not include the constructor, now in 6.2.0 it does. 
I think, this shall be added to the documentation, 
both manual and help. 

The function ismethod was changed accordingly, 
and here again, documentation needs clarification. 

Also, and I dont know how long this is, 
to a complete signature belong 
also so called checked exceptions. 
These are also given. 
Also that shall be noted in the documentation. 
Good illustration is really class java.lang.Double.
