function retval = isrealvarname(testname)
%ISREALVARNAME True for valid variable name.
%   ISREALVARNAME(S) is true if S is a valid MATLAB variable name.
%   A valid variable name is a character string of letters, digits and
%   underscores, with length <= namelengthmax and the first character a letter.
%
%   See also ISKEYWORD, ISVARNAME, NAMELENGTHMAX.

%   Revised, since the Windows version returns true for INVALID names!
