In case anybody is developing tools for this kind of thing, one of the things I 
most miss from Common Lisp is the ability to interrupt a running expression AND 
see the values of locals at the point of interruption. Fantastically useful for 
debugging. As far as I know there's no environment that lets you do this for 
Clojure. Seeing locals at the context of an exception (for each stack frame) is 
also fantastically useful and at the top of my wish list for the ecosystem... 
and while I've heard tell that there's a way to do this (Ritz?) if you run 
within emacs, I've never actually seen this in action and would love it if 
there was a more broadly accessible way to do this.
