Octave does not have a format mode like this, but most of the routines
in src/pr-output.cc have a "pr_as_read_syntax" option. This option
was originally used for a purpose different from the one you have in
mind, but maybe it would not be too hard to implement what you want.
I'd certainly consider a patch.
