As I remember it (Pierre M can probably correct me) the recfunctions are not ports of the mlab functions, but are considerably extended in order to deal with masking, and do not have exactly the same API. When I noticed this I wondered if there would be some sensible way of making the mlab routines available in a separate namespace, but I did not pursue it.
