request for new built-iin: reset()

The built-in reset() function of Matlab is still missing from Octave.  
The absence of this function limits the m-file development when  
resetting of an objects properties to their defaults is needed.

Might I be able to compel someone to add this for the c++ impaired,  
like myself?

Matlab's help test is ...

 >> help reset
  RESET  Reset graphics object properties to their defaults.
     RESET(H) resets all properties having factory defaults on the  
object
     identified by handle H to their default values. If h is a figure,  
MATLAB
     does not reset PaperPosition, PaperUnits, Position, Units or  
WindowStyle.
     If h is an axes, MATLAB does not reset Position and Units.

     For example,
     RESET(GCA) resets the properties of the current axis.
     RESET(GCF) resets the properties of the current figure.

Thanks, dank, merci, gracias ... ;-)

Ben
