debug list() command showing an extra }); at the end

While debugging a very simple file(index.js), contents are:

console.log('debugger');

and using the node debug index.js, i see this displayed:

On line 3, there is a random }); there. Don't know if this is a bug, or not.

I thought maybe it was because the code is possibly being wrapped for execution, but running a list(100) or some other big number, shows the same thing.

Obviously not a huge deal

Looks like this is the area of interest, https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/_debugger.js#L1107. That is removing the module wrapper, looks like nothing removes the end of the module wrapper

In Node.js 8.x, the output makes it more clear what's going on (specifically, that the contents of the file are wrapped in a function):

$ node debug index2.js

Still an issue in v6.x (and probably v4.x, though).

If I'm not wrong, this can be closed since the cli debugger is deprecated.

Yep, we can close now.
