Slight problem. After this change was merged from stable, where it works, to dev it is no longer possible to get help on dldfcns.

This was cset

In prior versions of Octave, the documentation for functions which were aliases of each other could be obtained under either name. In 4.2.0, only one name is allowed. I happened to find this with the home/clc pair, but there are many other examples such as lower/tolower.

This is probably a consequence of changing how the docstrings are stored in C++ files.
