Lots. For example,
scalar a = 0
mle ...
params a
end mle
Same goes for gmm and nls.
well of course, there it's very obviuos -- so I meant _except_ with
'params' :-)
BTW, this got me thinking: in some sense it might be more consistent to
use the accessor $coeff also for gmm, mle, nls, and so forth. But since
I'm not in favor of breaking backwards-compatibility (as you know), I
guess I'm not proposing it seriously.

Thanks for the idea. I'd already planned to do some work on the manual
this weekend. I'll throw this in.
thanks for the work!
