You might want to take a look at V8, this is *exactly* what they do for 
 debugging. Two object spaces are running (aka images) and one of them 
 accesses the other one through mirrors. Speaking of which, the mirror 
 paper by Dave Ungar and Gilad Bracha is all about separating development 
 capabilities (ie reflection) from the domain objects of your application. 
 Mirrors unify all kinds of code manipulation in one API, if Pharo had 
 mirrors you could use the code browser to manipulate code in the same
 as well as any other image.
