How to introduce a new function in Scilab

1. Write a SEP.

2. Write its planed help page (.xml). It is an excellent way to list and show all proposed features and use cases, and the interface (planed arguments and options, etc).

3. Send a email on dev@lists.scilab.org to discuss the SEP. Post also the page (in PDF).

4. According to discussion, tune the features, naming of things (function, arguments), order of arguments, etc.
5. Write the new function.
6. Write the unit test (.tst) (in modules/*/tests/unit_tests)
