Octave 2.1.52, Debian

I'm locking (using mark_as__static) sparse and dispatch,
but not conv2, but whos reports the following:

prot  type                       rows   cols  name
====  ====                       ====   ====  ====
 r--  dynamically-linked function      -      -  conv2
 r--  dynamically-linked function      -      -  dispatch
 r--  dynamically-linked function      -      -  sparse


The docs say the symbols should be marked differently:

    `-long'
          Print a long listing including the type and dimensions of any
          symbols.  The symbols in the first column of output indicate
          whether it is possible to redefine the symbol, and whether it
          is possible for it to be cleared.

Is this just a matter of applying the following (untested) patch?
