Details:

Matlab has a convenient "dbstop if all error" command that allows you to set a
breakpoint that triggers whenever an error is raised, even if that error is
inside a try/catch block. This lets you get right to the original cause of an
error when it happens deep inside a call stack with multiple try/catch
blocks.

It would be nice if Octave could add support for this.

I see a similar (unimplemented) "dbstop if caught error" in the "dbstop"
documentation, but I think this would be a bit different.
