Details:

When an error message is displayed, the function name is listed, but not the
file name.

When OO style is used the same function name can exist in many classdef
structures.  A function name and its classdef name can be totally unrelated.

It would be advisable to add the filename to error messages.

For example, this error message 

error: no such method or property 'foo'
error: called from
    function_fct at line 36 column 24


... is less user-friendly than

error: no such method or property 'foo'
error: called from
    function_fct in file myclass.m at line 36 column 24
