Yes, that's because what is running is not a named definition. (It's 3 : 0 not t2)

In the jqt debugger I changed things so that if you set a stop in t2, the debugger splits the definition into

t2compound =: original t2
t2 =: t2compound"0

and then puts the stop into t2compound. If you are using jqt you can set a stop before running the program, to get a good stop.

If you are not running jqt I don't know what the best solution is. You could split the definition by hand.

Or, maybe we could make up a name for the unnamed explicit definition, and show that on the stack. That's a design change that would require some thought and discussion.

However it works if t1 and t2 are
