[Scilab-users] What is a valid function name in Scilab?

[Antoine Monmayrant]

Hi everyone,

I just lost a couple of hours trying to figure out what was wrong with a 
function I just wrote that seemed perfectly fine but could not be 
interpreted by scilab.
I finally understood that you cannot define a function with a name that 
starts with a number.
The problem is that the error reported is not helpful at all ("Incorrect 
function at line 1.") and that neither 'help function' nor 'help 
functions' clearly indicates this limitation.
I think I'll report a bug for that, but before doing so I would like to 
know if any of you knows exactly what are the limitations for the name 
of user define functions in Scilab and where this information can be 
found in the documentation.

Thanks in advance,

Antoine
