Okay, I've done a CVS checkout to play around with your changes. I 
haven't found any real problems, but there is one thing, that _might_ 
cause problems.

The following function works:

function out = myfun(a = 2, b = sin(a))
  out = a + b;
endfunction

but this doesn't:

function out = myfun(a = sin(b), b = 2)
  out = a + b;
endfunction

Now, I can understand why this is the case, but I'm affraid that it 
could cause confusion, i.e. "why doesn't my function work anymore? I've 
just switched the order of the input arguments."

Otherwise, it appears to be working quite nicely,
