Agreed. For a quick personal hack it might be enough to hook into the
C-x space etc commands, but to do it right you would want to query
matlab.

I looked at gud.el & gdb.el, and I think that getting the breakpoints
to display will be harder than keeping track of them. gdb.el has a
bunch of code to display breakpoints using overlays, but it's not at
all obvious how one would go about re-using that code. Ideally it
would all be abstracted into gud.el, but that looks looks like a big
job for a gud/gdb novice. Even if I just wanted to get it working for
matlab stuff, there would a lot of work to figure out exactly what to
copy over into matlab.el. Probably not a good first project for a
emacs lisp newbie.
