The resulting list of possible completions includes the variable name you
created,
costs_march, but also includes functions that begin with cos,
including
cosets from Communicatio n s Toolbox, if it is installed on the

in the currently selected workspace, and the names of functions and models
on the MATLAB search path or in the current directory.
