Follow-up Comment #1:

I'm not sure we will implement this.  Octave generally tries to validate its
inputs much more carefully then Matlab.  The idea is to prevent Garbage
In/Garbage Out calculations.  In this case, by not throwing an error when
something has gone wrong Matlab is forcing programmers to spend a lot of time
checking return codes.  The alternative is not to check return codes, but then
the eventual error in the code may be far away from the actual error which was
the failure to open the file.  This makes things difficult to debug.
