Octave Developer Tools

I've always felt that Octave can have more developer tools, like

Developer Tools Wish List

1. octave-lint (static code checker)
2. octave-indent (code formatting)
3. octave-pprint (a library of functions for pretty printing)
• - I had posted earlier this month? on Octave-maintainers list,about making a pretty-printer. A good place to start looking will be the Python/Lib/pprint.py
4. octave-profiler (call-graph & static per-line, per-function profiler)
• presently in the works, wonder how it will reach into the code-base
5. octave-debug (debugging user scripts/functions from Octave)
• This will be mostly on lines of John Eaton's post asking for a AST/Tree-Walking evaluator for a profiler & a debugger.
• Presently Octave has the tree-walkers for printing code, in its
• debug mode, and a
• semantic-checker after parsing,I guess.

So if you feel like throwing some time on these tools, welcome.
