Misleading diagnostics in OMNotebook

Description

Please consider the attached test case. The model in the second interactive cell

model TermosifoneElettricoGradino2
 extends TermosifoneElettrico(deltaQ=1000);
end  TermosifoneElettricoGradino2;

is mis-spelled, with deltaQ instead of DeltaQ (a very common mistake by students). I would expect that hitting shift+enter on the simulate cell generates an error. Instead, the compiler answers "[done]", and still shows me the previously computed simulation result when I plot the T variable. This is extremely dangerous, because the user thinks he's seeing the results with a modified parameter, but he actually isn't.

OK, sorry, I forgot about this MATLAB-style feature...
Maybe we should mention it in the help text
