You can set breakpoints using the ",break" or ",break-at-source" REPL
commands. See ",help debug" for more info.
For now, to achieve the effect you desire, you could create a procedure
that simply returns the value of some global variable. Set a breakpoint
on that procedure, and then use that procedure as your "enter debugger"
procedure. If you want it to resume execution, set the global to your
desired value and continue.
I agree that it would be nice to include a procedure in Guile that does
this more nicely.
