eliminate obsolete DEFCONSTFUN and DEFCONSTMETHOD macros For some time now, DEFCONSTFUN and DEFCONSTMETHOD have been equivalent to DEFUN and DEFMETHOD so we might as well eliminate them. For now we will eliminate all handling of them in Octave but leave them as aliases in defun.h. * macros.dox: Don't mention DEFCONSTFUN or DEFCONSTMETHOD. * defun.h (DEFCONSTFUN, DEFCONSTMETHOD): Define as direct aliases of DEFUN and DEFMETHOD but eliminate documentation for them. * mk-builtins.pl, mk-doc.pl: Don't handle DEFCONSTFUN or DEFCONSTMETHOD. * pt-eval.cc (Fend): Define with DEFMETHOD instead of DEFCONSTMETHOD.

//!                    be used by this method.  If this value is omitted,
//!                    there is no access to the interpreter and one should
