Details:

This isn't a big deal, but consider the script below.


#{
comment line
#} disp ('out of block comment');


When the script is run the output from the interpreter is:


warning: block comment open at end of input
warning: near line 4 of file 'dbl_msg_print.m'
warning: block comment open at end of input
warning: near line 4 of file 'dbl_msg_print.m'


I get that the interpreter is unhappy, but it really only needs to print the
message once.

On a second note, I think the warning message could be clearer.  Maybe
something like


warning: trailing text after block comment close
