Do you know that almost all of this is included in the compiler 
nowadays? (introspection, storable, recursive attributes printing from 
debugger) Of course the mini-debugger is not, but it might be 
interesting. Would you like to contribute it?

May be stopping at an exception is not already done. If so, I think you 
could easily provide some small patch. Thanks in advance!
