[IronPython] Question about Visual Studio & Iron Python Toolsand Debugging

[Dino Viehland]

Yep you'll need to write it out to a file and then create the ScriptSource
object using the file instead of the in-memory stream.  The filename will
then be carried along w/ the ScriptSource and when the debugging information
is emitted it will be emitted w/ that filename so the debugger can pick it
up.

Also you won't want to always leave debugging mode on - it's much slower to
compile the code in debugging mode than it is in normal mode.  I'd like to
eventually start supporting sys.settrace style debugging which won't have
this penalty but that won't happen anytime soon.
