<p>Dear ESI devs,</p>
<p>In Scilab < 6, typeof(1:$) was "<code class="literal">size
implicit"</code> </p>
<div class="refsection">In Scilab 6.0, typeof(1:$) has become
"implicitlist"<font face="Arial"><br>
<br>
</font>Why not.<br>
The issue is that the overloading code is still <tt>"ip"</tt>
standing for <tt>"implicit polynomial"</tt><font face="Arial">,</font>
not<font face="Arial"> </font><tt>"il"</tt><font face="Arial">.<br>
</font>And in practical, this object is actually made of
polynomial(s)<br>
<br>
So, in one hand, for the same object, we refer to lists. On the
other one, we refer to polynomials.<br>
I don't know what was the motivation in renaming "<code
class="literal">size implicit"</code> into <tt>"implicitlist"</tt><font
face="Arial">.</font><br>
If it was to remove an inconsistency somewhere, it apparently adds
another one elsewhere.<br>
<font face="Arial"><br>
</font>So: why not<tt> </tt><tt>typeof(1:$,"overlaod")=="il" </tt><font
face="Arial">?</font><br>
<br>
It may still be the time to make the change consistent...<br>
<font face="Arial"><br>
