Approved, but a couple of changes are needed:

- whyAlive(1000) will display 1000 lines, even if there aren't 1000 lines to display.

- When viewing the leaks, if I click on the first clickable link on a line (ex: 'global.LzIdle.onidle.delegateList.9'), the flash player crashes. Clicking on the second link (ex: <LzDelegate#13| LzSprite ...>) works fine.

- The wiki page is badly out of date: http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/Embedded_Debugger. At a minimum whyAlive() should be documented that it now takes an optional argument.

Summary: Bring memory tracing to the modern era

Bugs Fixed:
LPP-5205: 'Debug.whyAlive no longer shows reference keeping object alive'

Technical Reviewer: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] (pending) QA Reviewer: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] (pending)

Details:
     LzMessage: fix error in concat observed in passing, make
     appendInternal of another LzMessage concat, not present the
     message

     LzMemory: Make some things classes.  Stor leaks as a new class
     that has a pretty descriptor and breaks out the leak information
     for easy inspection.  Use a stable sort on leaks, sort the biggest
     leak to the front of the Array.  Make whyAlive describe the top
     leaks.

     LzDebug: Use user toString methods, obey unique flag.

     LzFormatter: New formatting flag `=` takes the next argument as
     the object to be represented by the format (overriding the normal
     hot-linking that occurs in the debugger so you can write a custom
     representation for an object).

Tests:
     Debug.markObjects()
     Debug.findNewObjects()
     Debug.whyAlive()

     now yields useful information:
