            An undefined component of a simple list. Such a component may be met as
            an omitted input argument when calling Scilab function like in
            <literal>foo(a,,b)</literal>: From within the function, the missing
            argument is defined but is of null type. Defining
            <literal>L=list(%pi,,%i,,,%z)</literal> creates L(2) of type 0; etc.
            For these objects, <code>isdef()</code> returns <literal>%T</literal>,
            but their null type can be tested with <literal>type()</literal>

                Some data may be stored in custom containers defined as typed lists of type 16
                (tlist) or 17 (matrix-oriented typed mlist). This is also the case for embedded
                types like (<emphasis role="italic">rationals</emphasis>), structures
                (<emphasis role="italic">struct</emphasis>),
                <emphasis role="italic">state-space</emphasis>, interactive trees
                (<emphasis role="italic">uitree</emphasis>), etc, for which
                <literal>type(..)</literal> will return 16 or 17. One will use
                <link linkend="typeof">typeof</link> to get more information about their actual
                (sub)type.
            </para>
            <para>
                <emphasis role="bold">Type conversion in mixed operations</emphasis>:
            </para>
            <para>
                When a binary operator (like the multiplication) or an n-ary iterated one
                (like the concatenation) is applied beween two operands of distinct but
                compatible types, usually the type of one of both is implicitely converted,
                and the other operand sets the type of the result to its own type.
                <para>
                    Examples with the <link linkend="brackets">concatenation</link> :
                    <literal>[%t, 3.124]</literal>, <literal>[int8(5), 3.124]</literal>, etc.
                </para>
                <para>
                For the concatenation, addition, substraction, multiplication, division,
                and the power operation, the hierarchy between operands types is as follows
                (read "A &lt; B": B imposes its type to A) :
