These requests have been recorded, but I don't think
I'll get around to them for 2.3. The trace facility already
attempts to keep the most recently referenced variables
displayed, but I'll see if I can take into account whether
the user asked for them or not.
Displaying subscripted variables is also something 
I'd like to do eventually, but probably not for 2.3.

On the bright side, I've already implemented 
trace(3). It records executed Euphoria statements in a
trace file, like the Translator does, so if a machine-level crash
occurs, you can see the last 500 Euphoria statements executed,
in particular the statement that was being executed when the
crash ocurred (maybe a poke into a bad address or something).
