Providing full interaction with the run time

t this throws away expression results so that's no help. At the moment, I'm making a crude attempt to distinguish between statements and expressions but it's easily fooled. So the question is: how does my debug interface (which operates over RPC) decide which type of COMPILE it wants? Or am I going about this all wrong? (I don't need warnings about the obvious security implications of this interface.)
