BTW, have you seen the video by Bret Victor entitled "Inventing on

The most important part for the average (nongraphical) developer is his
demo of writing a binary search algorithm. It may be difficult to use an
ordinary debugger to debug CTFE, template overload resolution and
"static if" statements, but something like Bret's demo, or what the
Light Table IDE is supposed to do...

...would be perfect for compile-time debugging, and not only that, it
would also help people write their code in the first place, including
(obviously) code intended for run-time.
P.S. oh how nice it would be if we could convince anyone to pay us to
develop these compiler tools... just minimum wage would be soooo nice.
That is so cool :)
