Matlab r2016b prerelease (the version I have at hand here) does accept

Matlab informs the user of this at file saving time rather than error'ing

last I checked, Octave did the same thing.  Notice that the function name message is a warning, not an error. I've renamed functions and forgotten to change the filename, and it just pops up a warning. I'm not actually sure why it errors on the x definition here, unless that behavior is new.

running 4.0.3 on Windows. Sure enough I just took one of my function files and renamed the function without changing the filename.  got the same warning, then it gave me the correct output without error.  So I think we're okay there.
