Disadvantages:

1) Need to allow changing of monitored variables during Octave's main
processing. This could be tricky programming. It might mean multithreads
where Octave has a limited scope table.
2) Just exactly how to program this is a big question. Maybe each
variable needs a tag of some sort and when it is touched update some
table that the other thread is watching. John would be one of the few to
envision this. Something similar to debug maybe?

3) The expansion or shrinking of the symbol table during processing. I.e., commands create new variables and there are some commands that discard variables from the name space. Another tricky issue.
