Details:

Would you please consider implementing a loadlibrary function compatible with
Matlab?

I saw a couple of discussion bursts from 5-10 years ago about this. At that
point the main problem seemed to be that Octave didn't support classes
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/octave-maintainers/2013-11/msg00406.html),
but this is not the case anymore.

A bit of context and explanation of my request:

I am trying to use Transplant (https://transplant.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
to call Octave from Python. I am aware about Oct2Py, which I have also started
to use, but Transplant seems more comprehensive, powerful and actively
maintained. Also, Oct2Py presents some issues
(https://github.com/flathub/org.octave.Octave/issues/56)

According to main Transplant Dev, using Transplant should be quite
straightforward if the loadlibrary function was available in Octave
