OK, I applied this patch.

We still have:

  octave:1> lookfor sum
  [...]
  builtin:cumsum       Cumulative sum of elements along dimension DIM.
  builtin:sum          Sum of elements along dimension DIM.
  builtin:sumsq        Sum of squares of elements along dimension DIM.
  [...]

Should we strip the "builtin:" prefix?

Thanks,

jwe
