I suppose that could be useful if that stepper showed me the last expression 
that it tried to execute before the syntax error was raised. Then I would have 
seen

  (... my-new-literal ...)
->
  dont use my-new-literal

If I could click on 'my-new-literal' in the code above the arrow and keep 
pressing back until I found its origin then I would be happy. Right now the 
last step before the syntax error does not highlight 'my-new-literal' as the 
syntax that is to be executed next. Actually even if I just saw that (the next 
step to be executed with code highlighted) I could have found my issue very 
quickly.
