IIUC, that feature was removed many years ago. Hence, it's no longer documented in newer versions of Octave.
It might be that you can still find that setting in packages that have been released for those old versions of Octave. (But it has no function whatsoever in newer versions.)

If you want to "auto-load" a package, add the appropriate commands to one of the startup files.

several packages also quaternion from octave forge
have autoload in their Description.
It is set to 'no' in any cases I have observed.
I wonder whether this is a feature to be documented.
Does it mean that it is loaded at startup?
If so, what is the value if autoload is required? 'yes'?
I tried with my own package but autoload='yes' had no effect.

If this is a hidden feature, please add according documentation.
