Unfortunately this changed from 4.0 to 4.2, and will change again in
4.4.
In Octave 4.2, use
fmt = __formatstring__ ();
This function is also available in Octave 4.0, by the way.
In Octave 4.4, this will become
fmt = format ();
Similarly, if you need what used to be called 'FormatSpacing', in Octave
4.2 you would use __compactformat__, and in Octave 4.4 you would call
format with two output arguments.
