 Query or set the internal variable that controls whether non-integer\n\
 ranges are allowed as indices.  This might be useful for @sc{matlab}\n\
 compatibility; however, it is still not entirely compatible because\n\
 @sc{matlab} treats the range expression differently in different contexts.\n\

+When called from inside a function with the \"local\" option, the variable is\n\
+changed locally for the function and any subroutines it calls.  The original\n\
+variable value is restored when exiting the function.\n\
