  [clear and re-call t2]
>> clear all
>> t2
error: invalid call to script t2.m

>> t                                     [t calls t2 (no .m)]
clear all

t2;
error: invalid call to script t2.m
error: called from
    t at line 3 column 1

>> t2                                    [I re-call t2]
data = [
error: vertical dimensions mismatch (1x4 vs 1x3)

    t2 at line 1 column 6
