Summary: Interactive Debug

Initial Comment:
Many Lisp/Scheme implementation feature an extremely useful interactive debug accessible via the REPL. Upon reaching of a breakpoint (or an error), the interpreter jumps into a REPL in the scope of the point where the execution failed or was stopped. You can then examine the objects in this scope, and even change their values, and continue -- not to talk about the ability to move up the stack.

The lack of such a debugging facility is tainting the adoption of SISC (otherwise excellent due to its seamless integration with the widespread J2EE) in several real-world applications. Of course, debugging a WebApplication is a long way to go, but even the "standard" interactive debugger would be a treat.
