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> Mike

I've mentioned a few things: I think that ideally, we'd provide a debugging api so that we could build debuggers outside of the interpreter itself. Matt

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