Well, it just seems that I'm whining here instead of contributing, but if
the debugger is indeed a very (if not the most) useful tool which is used in
pretty much every bit of fix-up work, fixing it if it is broken would have
to come before all else, no? Otherwise, any work that needs to be done until
it is looked at is just compounded.

Maybe it would make sense to correct (in the current code) to a small degree
just one of the things that is currently broken. No frills, but just getting
a more accurate indication of where the PC is - at least have it on the
correct line of code if it can't be pinpointed more accurately without too
much hassle. I'm curious what derails the location highlighting as half of
the time it is close, if not correct. Is it blocks that give it a hard time?
It wouldn't be too bad if other things were going to take a while if you
could at least keep track of where you were. 

If the idea is to wait until a whole big refactoring can be done on this, I
fear a fully debugger might be another year away.
