John,
However, the Finline function indentifies all of the args and makes them
part of the anonymous function handle. That is "inline('x+y+z')" is
constructed using an anonymous function handle like "@(x,y,z) x +y + z".
Whereas the case of a fixed value in a user function is more like
"@(x,y) x + y + z", where in this case "z" is fixed. So in that can we
can change make_anon_fcn_handle to resolve any arguments that are not in
the leading parathesis at the time the function handle is defined. This
should be a relatively easy change, but I don't like touching the parser
so'd prefer you do it :-)
Regards
David
