When Octave reads m-file code, it builds an internal parse tree
representation. Execution is then done by traversing the tree.

An executing function or script will complete - as I explained above,
the parse tree is already in memory. What happens when a function or
script is called and the file is modified or no longer there (though
code is still in memory), should depend on the
ignore_function_time_stamp flag.
