Great for you. Coming from the C world, I always use a step debugger to step into single machine instruction or to break on certain memory accesses. I would like to do the same for Guile if I can. You can only go so far with the REPL and `pk'. Maybe a nice things missing from Guile is a tracing library. Different peoples, different softwares, different workflows. And I am not the only onle who wish for a step debugger. [...] Thanks, Olivier -- Olivier Dion oldiob.ca
