Sure, will add.

Hmmm; maybe that should be standard? Good catch.

Is this bringing in baggage if you rebuild with octave-devel as a
build-requires (or out of mock on a system with it installed)? I guess I could
subpackage, but as it's not mentioned in the docs (is it? did I miss
something?) I'm inclined to just leave it out.

Rüdiger Meier, I'll wait as suggested... presumably fixed?

I think that'd make them significantly less handy, and unless there are really
strong feelings here, I think I'd prefer to leave as-is, or as a worst case
change the initial 'd' to expanded 'date' — dateadd, dateconv, etc. (But that
also seems like a big deviation from upstream!)
