<p>We should hate introducing such duplicates, that just multiply
issues and confusion with strictly no added value.<br>

<p>Actually, isdef() was introduced after exist(), just about this
output type: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1011#c1">http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1011#c1</a></p>
<p>IMHO, this is a good example of an insufficient discussion about
arguments, when exist() was introduced.<br>
Still, simply introducing duplicates to "fix" afterward issues,
without deprecating and finally and <b>actually</b> removing the
former syntax, or at least without undocumenting it, should be
avoided as much as possible.</p>
