It would be useful to test

function tstfunc ()

L =

pkg.sin doesn't exist, but maybe this with answers your question with Map?

-------------------------

Map =

ans =

Again with Map:

-----------------
>> Map = []

Map =

     []

>> import containers.Map
>> eval ('Map = pi')

Map =

    3.1416

>> Map (1)

ans =

    3.1416
