[Scilab-Dev] Scilab 6 and "hidden" functions ?

[Stéphane Mottelet]

Hello,

Trying to test the plotlib under Scilab 6, i discovered that it is 
impossible to define a function named "hidden" (this is a plotlib 
function emulating a Matlab function)

function hidden(varargin)
endfunction

[Scilab6] function hidden(varargin)

[Scilab6]          ^~~~~~^
[Scilab6] /Users/mottelet/h.sci : 1.10 - 1.16 : syntax error, unexpected hidden, expecting [ or identifier

In fact, "hidden" seems to be a new keyword, because the following seems to be ok :

hidden function f(varargin)
endfunction

So there seems to be a parsing problem, because even "hidden" is a new pre-statement for function definition, I don't see any reason to forbid "hidden" as a function name.

S.
