=over 4

=item Initial version by Daniel Grunblatt on 2002.5.19.

=item Start of rewrite - leo 2005.02.16

The debugger now uses its own interpreter. User code is run in
Interp *debugee. We have:

  debug_interp->pdb->debugee->debugger
    ^                            |
    |                            v
    +------------- := -----------+

Debug commands are mostly run inside the C<debugger>. User code
runs of course in the C<debugee>.
