The documentation for help has been changed for the upcoming 4.2 release to state that all operators should be enclosed in quotes to prevent their interpretation by Octave. The script files comma.m, semicolon.m, and paren.m are now deprecated and will be removed in version 4.6.

The 4.2 release should get started next week with the first release candidate, an will probably finish up by the end of September.

There are three non-function m-files comma.m, semicolon.m, paren.m as helper on operators.

But the doc-string in function "help" only mentions two of them, "comma" and "semicolon".

Should it mention "paren" for operator parentheses as well for completeness?
