1.3.3.2. How can I get the parser to accept a dummy reference without an error?

MATLAB parses code to look for syntax errors. When the parser encounters a name with two or less arguments, it lets them pass since they might be a variable with indices. If it encounters a name with three or more arguments, MATLAB knows it cannot be a variable, so the error message is returned. If you don't want the parser to snag the function, specify one with tw0 or fewer arguments.
