Hello everyone,

For me, it kind of makes sense not to change anything to X when 
assigning a value to X(range) with range an empty matrix (the assignment 
concerns an empty subset of X).
But I don't know whether this is coherent with other features (or bugs!) 
of Scilab.
For comparison, I tried this under octave and julia and they both raise 
an error.
More specifically, octave complains about the size mismatch between the 
lhs  (0x1) and rhs (1x3).
