Details:

The following two pages:

https://wiki.octave.org/Octave_load
https://wiki.octave.org/Fortran

seem to refer to a very old version of octave, making reference to things that
seem to have been deprecated since, thus making these examples useless.

In particular, they make use of a do_load function, which, I could not find
anywhere in the octave api, and therefore I assume is deprecated. There's
other things too, e.g. the use of toplev.h, which the compiler informs me is
deprecated in favour of interpreter.h.

I would edit these examples myself, but unfortunately I'm not familiar enough
with the api for this to be a simple edit for me.

PS. I bumped into these pages from stackoverflow links in the context of
questions on fortran/octave interoperability, e.g.
