I added this comment:

// Evaluate an Octave function (built-in or interpreted) and return
// the list of result values.  The first element of ARGS should be a
// string containing the name of the function to call, then the rest
// are the actual arguments to the function.  NARGOUT is the number of
// output arguments expected.
