Huh?

I think John's reference was to the fact that Venkman behaves
strangely when debugging code which came from an eval statement.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332176

Perhaps it seems like an edge case, but it's my little pet peeve, and
it makes my life difficult since Dojo does pretty much everything
through XHR + eval.  That loading paradigm is useful enough that it
might help provide interoperability for other toolkits as well --

John went through hoops to work around this problem and make it work
in Firebug, and the same technique can probably be employed in
Venkman, though the right fix, IMO, is to fix jsd (sigh... we already
know that's nearly impossible)
