If the cost is small, I will not object. Seeing what the debugging sessions look like before and after will help assure that we're getting it right, especially at the boundary: if we have 23 Foo foo = func(); 24 int bar = 0; then if a breakpoint is set at line 23, foo should not be in scope, but at line 24, it should be.
OK, that sounds good to me. As you say, there is no way to know until it is actually implemented how muh affect it will have. However, I won't be able to start on it until summer as I have to worry about sitting my finals, so I'll let you know when I get started. Thanks all for your help :) Rob
