1. Debug, debug, debug... and 4.0
I've said it on IRC, so I thought I'd raise it here. If the debug system could
be enhanced within the roadmap of 4.0, that would be a real enhancement to the
language. I've mentioned a few things:
Turn the trace window into an immediate window and allow real time substitution
of variable values.
Enhance the trace window's display capability so that sequences aren't
effectively hidden.
Enhance the trace window's interrogation capability so that subscripts can be
used (and subscripts which are variables would be even better).
I think I saw a variable dump in EUOO. That would be nice.
I'm sure I could think of more if I wasn't so busy debugging. <G>

I think that ideally, we'd provide a debugging api so that we could build
debuggers outside of the interpreter itself.

Sure. But is that 4.0? If not, and I suspect it is not, can changes to the
trace window be made within the 4.0 roadmap?
