function calendarTest
% This function proofes that there is a Matlab Bug if you name a variable 
% the same like a function. It's not treaten the same in every case.
% Sometimes the variable is dominant, sometimes the function. You can set a
% breakpoint on line 31 and watch the variable calendar in the Workspace,
% which is the value of myDate. But have a look what appears in the command
% window if you go ahead.
%
% I use MATLAB Version 7.6.0.324 (R2008a)
