Can MATLAB warn you when you when you redefine existing functions?

For example if you redefine 'sum' and start using it as an
accumulator, can MATLAB warn you when this occurs?

It can and it does, at least as of R2009b.

I had been running R2009a :).

Having just installed 2010a I tried running this:

sum = 0;
for i=1:10;
sum = sum + i;
end
sum

The 'sum' function was redefined, but I did not see any complaints, at
least in the REPL. I must be doing something wrong. Where should I
look for warnings?
