MATLAB: Updating function list in a script.

functionssymbolic

As part of some code I am writing I am printing out symbolic variables into a .m file (so that they can be called with d.p. arguments without using the incredibly sluggish subs). This works well except that when I create a new function matlab does not automatically note that the function has changed and will either not notice the function is present, complain about the arguments of the function, or use an old overwritten version.
Is there any command to update the list of possible functions (within the same working directory) or any other way to solve this problem?

>> help rehash
rehash  Refresh function and file system caches.
  rehash with no inputs performs the same refresh operations that are done
  each time the MATLAB prompt is displayed--namely, for any non-toolbox
  directories on the path, the list of known files is updated, the list of
  known classes is revised, and the timestamps of loaded functions are
  checked against the files on disk.  The only time one should need to use
  this form is when writing out files programmatically and expecting
  MATLAB to find them before reaching the next MATLAB prompt.
