Details:

Some Octave packages have functions that override core functions. If the user
needs to call both functions at the same time, the only way is to repeatedly
call pkg load and pkg unload which takes time. Octave is missing a scope
resolution operator so ::foo() is a core function but pkgname::foo() is the
overriding function in the package.
