Dirk also thinks I'm confusing two issues, but they are in fact
related. If the search path were the intended one, then I would
not have noticed a slowdown when using files in the future, because octave
would find the f.m file in the current directory immediately.
If there were two bug reports, I would agree that the first one could be
closed. But since the first problem would not happen if the second
is fixed, I don't think it is worth to report it again in a separate bug.
We have the "retitle" command.

Yes I know at least one example of that (#3253 ;-)
It would be worth to clearly state when a wishlist item have to be
left open against the wishes of maintainers.
