Thread Subject: Proposed extensions to the doc command

The doc command is an extremely useful feature in MATLAB.
However, like all software, this too could use some
improvements. Here are some proposed extensions to the
"doc" command.

Zot zot zot! I like it!

Now maybe with Doc Brown, Matthew can go back in time and
make these needful changes to "doc" in MATLAB 3.0 ;-)

Alternatively,
