I noticed the tracer stuff on the nhc web-site. It looks very much
like a declarative-debugger, although that term never appeared in the
documentation I read. Will it in fact be a declarative-debugger ?  

If so, will it be portable to ghc ? I am aware that certain impure
functions are needed for declarative-debugging (e.g. the pointer
comparison function, and also, surely, a function to test if a term
has been evaluated). Are there any other special requirements for the
debugger / tracer ?
