[Scilab-Dev] SEP: Object oriented programming under scilab

[Collette Yann]

I think a good source of inspiration for object oriented programming for 
scilab is python. No types like with scilab but a good hability for 
object oriented programming.

This kind of programming is a little bit pythonic.
