I am sure the following script used to work in Octave:

-----------------------
# test script
say_hello;

function say_hello
    fprintf('Hello !\n');
endfunction
-------------------------

Now I get the following error in both 3.8.2 and the development version:

octave:1> testscript
error: 'say_hello' undefined near line 5 column 1
error: called from:
error:   /home/ulfg/Octave/testscript.m at line 5, column 1
octave:1>

I don't know if this is a bug or intentional.

I don't think this was ever legal in Octave.  I just tested with versions 3.2.4, 3.4.3, 3.6.4, 3.8.0 and they all give the same error as with 3.8.2.
