Hi,

following the discussion in the bug-list about  inverse error function,
I've a little comment:

Is it really a good idea to introduce it as 'erfinv' instead of 'inverf' ?

The name 'inverf'  has been adopted by gnuplot since a long time?
(REM no idea about matlab naming compatibility)

In general, shouldn't OCTAVE try to follow a common strategy  for implementation
of  inverse functions in the future by  simply adding an 'inv'  prefix to the fcn-name?
