Details:

just noticed:


>> help xmlread
error: help: The 'xmlread' function is not yet implemented in Octav
e.

Please read <https://www.octave.org/missing.html> to learn how you
can
contribute missing functionality.

>> pkg load io

>> help xmlread
'xmlread' is a function from the file C:\Programs\Octave\octave-6.3
.0-w64\mingw64\share\octave\packages\io-2.6.3\xmlread.m
...
 -- Function File: NODE = xmlread (FNAME)



i know there were some recent crash related bugs that forced temporary removal
of xmlread from io, but with it back now i'm assuming the 'missing function'
should be changed to a 'part of package that is installed but not loaded'
message.  i'm not familiar with where those things reside to throw a patch
together to do that.
