Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] How can I get emacs to display a stop-sign icon when I set a breakpoint?

In principle yes, that would be fine.
In practise however, many things can alter breakpoints. E.g. when you issue
"clear all" from matlab, a side effect is that all breakpoints are cleared,
and emacs wouldn't notice a thing.
I'm sure we can imagine plenty more scenarios, and if emacs doesn't
constantly query matlab for the list of breakpoints, it would quickly get
out of sync.
