In Matlab, when editing and saving changes to a function/script while that is

Octave allows to save the file being debugged and simply continues the debug
session. Sometimes, when typing dbquit or stepping through the file, I got
complaints about breakpoints not being found. AFAICS breakpoints are wiped
upon file save from the editor.

Should Octave mimic ML's behavior here? i.e.,
- recognize that the file is being debugged
- catch file save attempts and notify the user
- allow to save but then gracefully end the debug session.
