Scilab Bag Of Tricks - Claymore

target = source(index1, index2, ..., indexN)
is a bit more convoluted as it has to account for the indices:
Chapter 4. Unknown Spots
// insertion
function target = %targettype_i_sourcetype(index1, index2, ..., indexN,
source, target)
// extraction
function [result1, result2, ..., resultM ] = %sourcetype_e(index1, index2,
..., indexN, source)
Warning
The online-help of Scilab-2.5, help overloading, is incorrect in its explanation
of the argument names to insertion-overloading. It says that target is the
next-to-last, and source is the last argument. In fact the two arguments
occupy exchanged positions as we have listed them.
Note that for extraction the number of return values, M, is completely independent of the number of
index expressions, N.
