I'm about ready to release an alpha version of my Eclipse-based Gambit IDE. TO get
this working I had to make a small change to Gambit to enable another hook. If there
is a better way to do this, using the existing binaries, I'd love to know it. Here's
the patch to lib/_repl.scm:
============

< (define-prim (##repl-within cont write-reason)

> (set! ##repl-within ##repl-within-default)

==================
I'm asking about this because I started building a version of GSI with this feature
on mulitple platforms, and its proving to be a challenge. If I could get a standard
build with this feature it would be great.
It allows me to hook into ##repl-within any time an error or break happens
So far the IDE has:
*debugging
- stack trace and source location
- inspection of lists, tables, and *closure*
- stepping (sort of)
*syntax coloring
*indenting and formatting
*Other things like autocompletion, source outline are not done
*I don't think I can do true breakpoints without more support, but I might be able to
do some function-breaks.
