So what is it that you want Octave to do here?

As for the quotes issue, why not use single quotes in octave?
Well, yes, of course that's what I'm doing usually. But I sometimes
forget not to use double quotes (I'm human), and Octave does not tell
me so. Now, if someone else uses my code with Matlab, he/she will get
an error. So: is there a way to make Octave tell me not to use double
quotes?
One idea I have about this is to add a feature in Octave that checks
for double quotes, and produce a warning or an error. This feature
would be turned off by default, but can be turned on by setting some
flag. Or is there another (better) idea?
