In fact, I already tried whereis. But for example 'whereis poly'
returned me an empty matrix and 'whereis mean' returned me
statisticslib. Which doesn't tell much about where the definitions of
these functions are actually located (even if they are not written in
the scilab language themselves).

BTW, I couldn't see in the FAQ or in the doc the meaning of all the
extension/type of files used and recognized by Scilab. What is the
difference between .sce and .sci, what are their intended uses ? What
exactly are in .sav files, etc ..?
