This type is one of the misteries of Scilab.
May be it was created before that loadmatfile() and savematfile() were 
available.

Now that both of these functions exist, any required conversion of 
sparse matrix is automatically done through them.

IMHO this data type is obsolete and should be properly and completely 
removed, as you have also mentionned it in the Bugzilla thread.

Thanks for having put this topic on the public place.

Samuel
