Dear friends
I believe the initial question is related to giving more options to the
window functions, such that it can continue how it is today (aka
'symmetric') but also offer alternatives. If these additional options
makes sense, and can default such that they are not required (existing
code continues to work unaffected), and the additional options are
useful and meaningful in a mathematical sense, then I'm all for adding
these options.
When it comes to naming schemes, then Scilab is not required to strictly
follow the Matlab regime. We can choose what we find most correct and
concise. In some cases Scilab is 'better' than our competition, which is
a pleasure. It is true that some users come from Matlab and sometimes we
read Matlab code to convert its functionality into Scilab - in these
cases it works perfectly good for me to make a Matlab-to-Scilab
translation somewhere in the documentation.
Therefore, I hope we can have a good discussion about which name is the
most meaningful.
With kind regards,
Claus

Like it or not, I guess these keywords come from Matlab, and as Matlab
still seems to dominate the market, many people, including those
willing to quit Matlab (as I did several years ago), are quite used to
those keywords
I don't agree with this argument.
If a way of doing is wrong, then just keep on going because "everybody does so"
is just an argumentum ad populum
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum
which is a fallacious argument.
