Details:

With 'echo on all' the leading debug prompt of '+ ' is not printed when the
source line is blank or looks like a blank comment.

Example:


echo on all
ls

Note the blank comment lines in the m-file ls.m do not have the debug prompt
in front of them.  Similarly, the blank line between the GPL license and the
start of the Texinfo documentation does not display the debug prompt.

This is a minor nit, but it might be easy to fix.
