Details:

For the nitty-gritty / cosmetics department:

If one tries to save a .m function file from the editor pane while that
function is still running, a message pops up:

"This file is being executed.
Quit debugging and save?"

When clicking "yes", a message pops up after the function finished running:

"error: dbquit can only be called in debug mode"

which is out-of-place as the function wasn't being debugged in the first
place.

The first error message perhaps shouldn't mention "debugging" but rather
"execution".
The second error message should only appear if the script was debugged.
