[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50359] clearer documentation for difference between isnull and isempty

[Kai Torben Ohlhus]

Update of bug #50359 (project octave):

                Severity:              3 - Normal => 2 - Minor              
              Item Group:        Incorrect Result => Documentation          
             Assigned to:                    None => siko1056               
                 Release:                   4.2.0 => dev

Follow-up Comment #11:

Another suggestion is to convert `isnull` to `__isnull__`, a internal
undocumented function.

1.) `isnull` is not MATLAB compatible.
2.) `isnull` is only used in "libinterp/octave-value/ov-null-mat.cc" and
"libinterp/parse-tree/pt-mat.cc" for internal purpose in tests.
3.) `isnull` gets users the wrong idea of it's specific purpose and is
irrelevant for most user code applications.

Any contrary opinions? If not, I'll provide a cset for dev next week.
