Maintainers,
Is there any objection to deprecating the function aliases of finite and
fmod in the 4.2 release?
finite/isfinite are the same function, but isfinite is what Matlab uses and
is consistent with the rest of the predicate tests which start with "is*"
such as isnumeric, islogical, isnan, etc.
fmod/rem are the same function, but rem is what Matlab uses. There is also
the additional complication that Octave supports a mod function which is
different from rem/fmod. When I see fmod I think it should be closer to
mod than to rem.
