Actually, isdef() was introduced after exist(), just about this output 
type: http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1011#c1

IMHO, this is a good example of an insufficient discussion about 
arguments, when exist() was introduced.
Still, simply introducing duplicates to "fix" afterward issues, without 
deprecating and finally and *actually* removing the former syntax, or at 
least without undocumenting it, should be avoided as much as possible.
