Interesting. This would mean parser support for completely ignoring
evaluation of such lines.

In that case, the best you can do at this point is probably something
like

  sed -i 's/^\s*coder\./## &/' *.m

and maybe report a bug if you think it's important that Octave grow this
feature in a future version.
