Details:

Calling an executable function "otest" from the shell 


#!/usr/bin/octave -qf
function out=otest(in)
nargin
argv
in


results in


$ ./otest foo
ans = 0
ans =
{
  [1,1] = foo
}

error: 'in' undefined near line 5, column 5
error: called from
    otest at line 5 column 1


Would it be difficult to pass the command line arguments to the function
arguments? This would greatly enhance the usability of Octave scripts for
shell programming.
