unhelpful error message when an 'end' is left off, or an extra one is left in while editing

3 views (last 30 days)
When editing a matlab function I am writing, I occasionally make an error (gasp). When that involves leaving in an extra or leaving out a needed 'end', the error message is unhelpful. It says:
Local function name must be different from the script name.
I found that baffling until I got used to it (I make mistakes more than once).
Could it not be improved?
