[Scilab-Dev] vector^scalar allowed again in Scilab 6?

[Pierre-Aimé Agnel]

Hello,

It was changed at resolution of 
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14316

I am not sure though whether enforcing the 'vector ^ scalar' error 
should be reintroduced. My 2-cents: there are many operations that have 
the same behaviour that their dot-operation counterpart when used with a 
scalar.

I think the operation should remain available, but I can also enforce 
the obsolescence in the release for 6.0.0.

Best regards
