  * Attach free variables rather than in-scope variables to breakpoints
  This speeds up the debugger quite a bit, we're now only about 30%
  slower than ordinary GHCi, and still adding breakpoints to every
  sub-expression.  Also we now get to see the free variables in
  recursive bindings, which wasn't working properly before.
