Hi All,

I've pushed version v220319a to my github repo.
1) Now requires --debug flag to script session:
    on-the-fly switching to debug vm is not reliable
2) added ,set-local! command
3) misc cleanup

Also, I believe I found the bug that was making line stepping swing back.
In guile-3.0.8, I changed line 913 of language/tree-il/compile-bytecode.scm
from
  (maybe-emit-source src)
to
  ;;(maybe-emit-source src)
That is, comment the line out.

Remember, this is all still experimental.

Regards,
Matt
