Good question. I can't think of a really legitimate use, but it is
possible to do this in Octave/Matlab, so I was wondering whether it
could be emulated directly in Scheme.

OK. I'm not sure whether this feature is really necessary, but it
might also turn out to be a mistake to design the translator in way
that makes it impossible. Even if I don't want to support this
feature in Octave, someone may want to try to create a completely
bug-for-bug Matlab-compatible translator based on the Octave
translator translator. We should probably not make that unnecessarily
hard to do.
