Maybe gretl should be stricter in not allowing built-in function names as identifiers. (Again, I think that was discussed before with the conclucsion that it's not a problem per se.)

series y = sin(1)

# y is described as lag of 'sin'

Good catch, this is the bug.

# but

# i.e. y is a constant series, its values are equal to sin(1)

This is expected I'd say.

BTW, here's something else:
series y = normal()
series y = y[-1]
...gives NAs (note the square brackets, on purpose). I think it should give an error.
