            Being able to have an interactive shell inside arbitrary
            points in a program is cool for debugging. BTW, this
            functionality is provided by the "Interactive Debug Probe"
            in Wing IDE (wingide.com). You can stop the program
            at any point and then launch a shell in the context of the
            stack frame where you stopped.
