out of curiosity, why does the "eval" command exists?
If I define a matrix "A" and I type "A" in the console, the contents
of A is displayed.
If I calculate A*B, nothing is displayed, I need to use eval.
What's the reason behind it? Matlab does give the answer directly, but
I am sure you guys have a reason why it works this way in Gretl.
"eval" is simply the way in gretl to tell the program, "I know I'm not
assigning the result of this calculation to anything but that's intentional, I just
want you to show me the result."
