I'm not disagreeing with those points.  I also looked at various (mostly
free) Schemes and I agree with William Cook's comment that "Gambit's
underlying capabilities for debugging are better than most".  But knowing
the details behind "best" is important too, so I just wanted to clear up
the one sub-point about LispMs.
