Define dump-into-debugging-repl as

(start-repl #:debug (make-debug (stack->vector (make-stack #t)) 0 
"trap!" #t))

But as for getting access to locals I don't know if there is a 
solution.   I have worked on removing slot sharing in the CPS processing 
but it's not working and I probably won't work on it anytime soon.

Apparently the best option for debugging is to use guile-1.8.
