With reference to the specific case of ilisp, have you actually tried
this?  Usually it's smart enough to interrupt the ongoing computation,
evaluate whatever expression it needs to in the debugger, then resume
as if by 'continue'

Of course, this is ilisp, so it gets it wrong every so often when your
lisp's output is doing something that confuses it, and when that
happens it can be hard to determine exactly what's going on without
some knowledge of ilisp internals, but it's nice when it works.

(If you have exciting things going on with readtables, that's another
good way to confuse it.  I don't know if that's an issue for your
usage)
