Thanks Marcus. I'm among the skepticals concerning the AST, but I'd like to be proven wrong, because AST level would certainly simplify things a lot. My main reserve is that interruption can occur at BC level, so for debugging purpose, what are your plans? Will you move the PC at some AST node boundary (if it is possible given side effects of some BC)?
