Jim:

I don't know about JWE's plans for adding a debug/undebug/traceback etc
mechanism.

Meanwhile, you could use my Emacs octave-mode's functionality for that.
If you visit a file containing code in Octave mode, you can send pieces
of code to an inferior Octave process by using the functions

        octave-send-line        (current line)          C-c i l
        octave-send-block       (current block)         C-c i b
        octave-send-defun       (current function)      C-c i f
        octave-send-region      (current region)        C-c i r
