Seems like a very good idea to me to.
I would just suggest revising this manual page as well pith the patch:
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Exception-and-Error-Handling-in-Oct_002dFiles.html#Exception-and-Error-Handling-in-Oct_002dFiles
So at least we don't get any new code that uses error_state.
