Looks like a bug to me. But have you tried anything else than $t2 to
verify the length?
Hmm, extending the dataset within a function is a "special
concession", which doesn't survive after the function returns. The
amendment to the C code that permits this is marked "experimental,
2015-07-28".
However, if we're allowing this at all then I guess $t2 should
adjust accordingly and "smpl full" should work as one might expect.
(Though the usual effect of "smpl full" inside a function is to
return to whatever sample range was in force at caller level.)
That's now done it git.
