Well, this would be pretty cool. Peter Keller thought about interfacing
to gdb a while ago. Perhaps he reads this and has some valuable
input.

Note that all mutations go through C_mutate() (for checking
destructive modifications of data) and that the "locative" mechanism
provides a GC-save way of handling subelements of data structures.

I can provide the necessary details, if you need them.
