Absolutely not!
What I wanted to indicate is that the input and output handling of the
debugger, currently line input and line output, should not be turned
into a sophisticated user interface with command line recall/editing
and fancy output paging (e.g. two independently scrollable windows,
one for input and one for output). External tools should manage that.
I mentioned the way the perl debugger runs under Emacs, ptkdb is
another good example.
BTW: the debugger already has command line recall/editing using
Term::ReadLine.
