saving function handles

[Muhali]

Suppose f = @foo. When saving f the full function path of foo is saved:

# name: f
# type: function handle
# octaveroot: /usr/local
# path: /path/to/fun/foo.m

Loading this file - possibly on a different system - requires an identical
function path to exist, as otherwise one gets the error 

error: no such file, '/path/to/fun/foo.m'
error: function handle points to non-existent function

But if during the saving of f `foo´ is known from a relative path, e.g. path
= ... fun ... (instead of path = ... /path/to/fun ...), isn't it more
logical if only the relative path is saved?
