It could be used for that, but then we did have already lookupSymbol: on
context (we added that so we
can easily use any valid variable in the condition for conditional breakpoints).

For larger ASTs it should be faster (especially with loops), for just reading a
var the compilation overhead
should be quite high.
Did not measure it, though.
The nice thing that is is not a lot of code *and* it is the same code we use to
evaluate DoIts already, so
with some refactoring is would be (from a LOC perspective) completely free and
even simplify the Doit logic.
