Yes, but by then Octave will have supplanted Matlab :-)
Seriously, do you mean the issue would be that the OF control package
would *not* have the same name as the maltab package, or that the
problem would be that it *would* have the same name and conflict with
the OF package?
In the first case, could you have a mechanism to map one package name
onto another e.g.
mappkgname OFcontrol control
which you could put in your .octaverc or similar so control.thefunction
is the same as OFcontrol.thefunction?
The second case is more difficult, and probably requires changing the
package name, but what are the odds they choose the same name in every
case?
