Details:

Could Octave possibly provide a specific error message when the word "grey" is
used instead of "gray" in a function name? 

Example:

'rgb2grey' undefined. Did you mean 'rgb2gray' (U.S. spelling)?

instead of:

error: 'rgb2grey' undefined near line 1 column 11


R treats the two as synonyms, but obviously that would harm Matlab
compatibility in a way a helpful error message wouldn't. Something similar for
color/colour function names might also be desirable. 

The example is from the "image" package, but applicability is not restricted
to that package.

Thank you.
