The function struct2local.m doesn't work as expected when a function exists in the path with the same name than a variable to be unpacked.

After the call to struct2local, MATLAB gives precedence to the function over the local variable.

This behavior is apparently in contradiction with the precedence rules described on: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/matlab_prog/f10-60956.html#

However it is present on most versions of MATLAB, and should be taken as a normal behavior of MATLAB.

A possible fix is to drop the use of struct2local, and to unpack structures by hand.
