* Should Octave be built without debugging code for parser by default?
* Should Octave be built without debugging code for parser by default?
The debugging code is always there and always enabled.  For every statement parsed there is a check on the the parse_debug_flag to see whether debugging information should be printed.  But, this is really infrequently used code.  I have turned on the debugger in the parser just once in 10 years.  To me, this is specialist code that could be enabled by a developer during configuration or with a `-D` option to `cpp`, but ordinary users will never need this.

* Modify the <code>test</code> function to search for an additional suffix <code>.octdm</code> dedicated to separate files containing demo block. See relevant discussion at https://octave.discourse.group/t/adding-a-new-file-extension-for-demo-files/6716
