Current folder window: how does "MATLAB Code File" differ from "Script"

I'm puzzled by the listing in my current folder window. I hadn't noticed a file type called "MATLAB Code File" before, and I'm trying to figure out how it's different from the "Script" type. Both kinds of file contain legal top-level code split into execution cells.
I haven't found documentation of this - a pointer to relevant documentation would be most helpful.
I'm using R2013b.

What is in makeFigures.m?
I would suggest that Matlab simply cannot determine for some reason whether it is a function or a script or class so 'Matlab Code File' is just its default for some unidentified .m file.
Glancing through all my folders of code I can't find a single one that has that type. I just have lots of 'class', 'function' and 'script' types.
I did also attempt to create a file with that designation, but failed. Even a .m file with nothing but a comment in was classified as a script. I am running Matlab R2014b so maybe yours is different?
