But a slight modification of the code seems to reveal the following: Although a variable and a scalar can both have the same name (for example, -b- in Austin Nichols's exammple), it appears that a matrix and a scalar cannot have the same name. Is this correct? See what happens below when I try to -matrix list- b after scalar b has been defined.

[P] index has an entry "namespace and conflicts, matrices and scalars" pointing to [P] matrix. The second page of [P] matrix contains a heading "Namespace" that explains that matrices and scalars share the same namespace.
