@Samuel:

Thanks, that aliasing through assignment is awesome!

What would one do in cases where the original function is actually a
built in which returns something and doesn't need to be called with '(
)' :

pw=pwd


This does not make pw an alias to pwd. The only way I got this to work
was through the funptr/newfun combination I mentioned:
 newfun("pw",funptr("pwd"));


@Samuel + @Serge:

I opened a feature request in scilab regarding the PATH idea:
bug #10094

It would be cool to have Serge's implementation, although I'd like
non-functions as well as this is very handy for really quick
development of ideas.

Best,
Ricardo
