If we let timing as the function name we get an error from your test suite. We have to rename it into foo

Vincent on 29 May 2012

Agreed. Is the function name part of the 'trick'?

Dan on 30 May 2013

Error: Undefined function 'foo' for input arguments of type 'double'.

Strange looking test, but the problem taught me something new about Matlab.
