That's related to a feature I have on my list to implement:
cross-referencing actions in a step-through debugger/action record with
their specific origin in the spec. So as you step into a function, see a
sidebar scrolling by with Function Declaration Instantiation, multiple hits
on Create(Mutable|Immutable)Binding, InstantiateArgumentsObject, Binding
Initialization, etc.
I've followed your occasional near-announcements with interest
but cannot help the feeling that there is a great effort the purpose
of which I do not fully appreciate yet. Sometimes it seems you
understate what you've already implemented, at other times it
seems as if this is mostly a fascinating project for you, with little
concern about how other might find it useful.
Even as an executable version of the spec, it would be great to
have. If single-stepping and cross-referencing helps program
understanding, tool support for single-stepping through a cross-
referenced spec should help getting used to the spec internals
(not to mention helping to verify spec consistency).
Or am I misunderstanding again?-)
