bring full top level of a module in scope when a breakpoint is hit in the module
It should do something like :module + *ModuleWhereBreakpointWasHit
and remove the added top level symbols of ModuleWhereBreakpointWasHit
when we leave it.
The goal is so that the functions which are in scope when we hit a breakpoint are readily available for investigations of the values stored in the free variables of the selected expression.
This feature request is a consequence of the dicsussion in this ticket http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2740\##2803
- .. and a realated thing: When I do something like
:module + ModName
and later I do:module + *ModName
then the non-exported symbols fromModName
are not added into the scope.
