exit octave after --eval CODE ?

[Muhali]

The help on command line options has

`--eval CODE'
     Evaluate CODE and exit when done unless `--persist' is also
     specified.

but octave does not exit when invoked with a script file, such as
------
# foo.m
disp(e) ;
------

%> octave -q --eval 'x=1;' foo.m
%>  2.72
%>

I suggest a phrase like 'and exit if FILE is empty' as help text.

M.
