Is there a way to decorate locals with auxilliary information?

I'd like to be able to say which locals were arguments to the function, which were bound inside the function, which are captures in closures. For arguments we have both the initial values available - what they were as arguments, as well as what they are now, if they have changed.

That seems like a great idea. frame-locals-for-emacs in swank.lisp and frame-locals (in each backend) construct a plist for each local. Seems straightforward to add that extra information you suggest.

Then sldb-show-frame-defails can show that information somehow. Maybe it can add a new "Arguments:" section if any of the locals are tagged as being an argument.

Thanks, I'll have a look and maybe put in a PR.
