According to Matlab documentation, only Public methods for which Hidden is
false should be listed.  However, all methods of a classdef object seemed to
be returned by Octave.

Example code:


methods ('inputParser')
Methods for class inputParser:
addOptional    addParameter   addSwitch      delete         error         
parse          validate_name
addParamValue  addRequired    add_missing    disp           is_argname    
validate_arg


Methods such as "is_argname" and "validate_name" are declared Private in the
classdef file and should not be displayed.

There was a similar problem with the properties() function which was fixed to
base its decisions on the Access and Hidden properties.  Perhaps some code can
be reused.
