In my opinion global variables aren't needed and shouldn't be used. When
I've started using GNU Octave >15years ago I thought I have to use them
but after I got more familiar with the language and I discovered
anonymous functions and guidata, appdata (which is basically global) I
never had to use globals again.

I understand the general objections to globals but alternatives doing the same thing should help in terms of code clarity and/or compactness and/or performance and I can't see at the moment how your solution is better. What am I missing?
