TODO:  how does one check all functions are listed in INDEX?
: Carne Draug wrote a script to do this several years ago. It is in the [https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/octave-forge/admin/check_INDEX.pl old OF admin repository] [[User:KaKiLa|KaKiLa]] ([[User talk:KaKiLa|talk]]) 07:56, 20 November 2019 (PST)
TODO: document how to run "all tests including those in src"  Someday this should be just "pkg test foo".
TODO: would be good to provide more specific instructions for when the package as a Maintainer Makefile?  But we don't usually put the Maintainer Makefile in the .tar.gz package to do?  (At least Doctest and Symbolic don't).
