Matlab prissiness

[gusl]

Why does Matlab insist on every function having its own file? Octave lets you define functions inside scripts, or in the shell. Therefore, my Octave code simply does not work in Matlab, due to this prissiness. I'm tempted to write an Octave->Matlab converter.

I just wish Octave caught up faster.

(this is an imperfect translation: "frescura" is much more common in my Portuguese than "prissiness" in my English, so the translation sounds a little odd. Here's an odd translation: "What prissiness, my brother! Eat soon the thing. You won't die.")

Functions can have their own internally defined subfunctions - it's just scripts that can't (unfortunately - I'd like them to be able to).

I can only think of the equivalent in slang Peruvian Spanish, which would be pitucada
