Given proper functions to access scopes up the stack, it is just as easy
to do a debugger for a lexical language as a dynamic language. We know
this from personal experience, having done a lexically-bound UCI Lisp.
Certainly some adaptation had to be done, but the results were just as
good, and the code wasn't really much worse.
