Summary: calling test on a builtin shows a misleading error
message
Project: GNU Octave

_______________________________________________________
Details:
The error message in the test function could be more helpful when calling it
on a builtin:
octave:1> test besselj
????? besselj does not exist in path
octave:2> test svd
????? svd does not exist in path
octave:3> test urlread
????? urlread source code with tests for dynamically linked function not
found
It would be clearer if test reported that besselj and svd are builtins,
similar to the error message shown for urlread as a compiled file in the
path.
For that matter, it could report builtins, operators, and keywords the same
way that the type command does.
I'll fix this if no one beats me to it.
