Wozai, i am afraid i don't catch your point.
Your point is not specifically about Scilab 6, is it?
You already disagreed with Scilab 5 behavior about using "!" to recall 
the history, while "!" was actually accepted in identifiers, didn't you?

If so, then, your point is clearly distinct from Jens (and any user 
using variable names including "!") urgent claim,
that is specific to a Scilab 5 => 6 change.

If "!" is reintroduced among allowed characters in identifiers -- 
including as the first one --,
and "!" is not changed into ":" to recall the history, do we get with 
the fixed Scilab 6 anything else than the Scilab < 6 behavior?
