May possibly break in future Matlab versions. Usually indicates a feature in non-widespread use throughout the Matlab code corpus. Future Matlab versions may decide to recode these usages using other methods. If the feature does break in a future Matlab version, then a warning message may appear before the feature completely breaks in some yet-more-future version, but this is not assured.
