Have you considered using the repl instead? Something like "start
stepping with the expression that I enter at the REPL"? That would be
absolutely ideal.

A few weeks ago Jay McCarthy suggested a feature for the stepper
that was so obvious that I had to implement it (also, I have a
sneaking suspicion that others must have suggested it): starting to
step at a specified expression, rather than from the beginning. As
I expected, it wasn't too hard, except for this one problem: how
should it be enabled? Here's what I've been able to come up with:
1) It's always enabled: the stepper starts from wherever the cursor
is (or the beginning of the selection)
2) It's a menu entry in the "Scheme" Menu.
3) Clicking on the stepper button always brings up a dialog.
4) It's a preference.
5) You right-click on a selected expression.
Choices 1 & 3 seem too intrusive. Choices 2,4, and 5 seem not
intrusive enough (a.k.a. they'll never be discovered). Any other
suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
John
