Update of bug #46662 (project octave):

                Category:    Octave Forge Package => Interpreter            
                Severity:              3 - Normal => 1 - Wish               
                Priority:              5 - Normal => 1 - Later              
              Item Group:                   Other => Feature Request        
                 Release:                   4.0.0 => dev                    
        Operating System:       Microsoft Windows => Any                    
                 Summary: [octave forge] (symbolic) requesting better error
message from taylor, possibly other functions? => improve missing function
hook to be able to report class methods by name in packages

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #6:

Trying to re-summarize this accurately as an Octave feature request.

The 'taylor' function in the symbolic package is actually a method of the
'@sym' class. If a user calls 'taylor(x)' on a symbolic argument, it works,
but if a user calls 'help taylor' or 'taylor(x)' where 'x' is a numeric
argument, Octave only reports that the function is not defined.

This bug is solely about adding a better error message to indicate that users
should load the appropriate package.
