[Kai Torben Ohlhus]

Update of patch #8666 (project octave):

                  Status:               Need Info => Wont Do                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #7:

Regarding comment #6: Thanks for the explanation of the patches.  And sorry
for the way too long time they were ignored.

Both attached patches file #33993 and file #33884 no longer apply cleanly to
the default branch (no big surprise after 6 years 😓).  The refactoring
burden of the patches is high.

Summarizing: the patches in their current shape are of little value compared
to starting from scratch again.

Another feasible approach would be improving the docstring package to cope
with existing documentation, rather than adapting the whole Octave core
documentation for the need of a package.

Closing this item.  If someone updates the patches for the latest Octave
development branch it can be reopened again.
