Thanks, I had forgotten about those manual entries.

How about the attached patch?

What about the manual itself. See

http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Techniques-Used-for-Linear-Algebra.html#Techniques-Used-for-Linear-Algebra

and

Since solving linear systems is so central to any numerical computation environment, we often get people asking how does Octave compute the backslash operator. I have referred people to the source in the past, but perhaps such a referral can be complemented with an explanation for the FAQ.

I'm modestly putting out this request here, in case someone else can fill out before I can.
