toascii() function missing

Hi,

I just noticed that toascii() function is missing. I'm running Octave
6.2.0 on Ubuntu.

toascii() is cited in the documentation, at:
https://octave.sourceforge.io/octave/function/toascii.html

I've saw a previous message on octave-maintainers suggesting that this
function could be deprecated:
https://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Any-need-for-toascii-td4686354.html

My question is: has this function been deprecated?

I'm currently using int8 as a replacement.

Regards,

J. Gustavo
