Poor choice of word.  Same thing Vladimir was talking about, though,
in essence.  I don't want the only decent solution to be one that
requires pushing new tools out.  Fedora can do that; maybe Google can
too, I don't know anything about your development environments.  But
plenty of other places can't.

I think Vladimir's got a solid point - we need a way to just point the
debugger at files and have them go.
