Implementation of Octave functions in Julia

This is a bit tangential but just leaving it here. I always wanted to every once in a while try a function in Octave to compare results/implementations/etc. You can now install Octave via BinaryBuilder and start it from within Julia 1.11:

julia> using Octave_jll, OpenBLAS32_jll

julia> withenv("LBT_DEFAULT_LIBS"=>OpenBLAS32_jll.libopenblas_path, "OCTAVE_HOME"=>Octave_jll.artifact_dir) do
           run(Octave_jll.octave_cli())
       end
