IDLWAVE uses the precursor to SCOPE_VARFETCH, the undocumented
ROUTINE_NAMES, to allow pulling and examining variables from other
calling stack levels while stopped deep in a calling sequence. I like
to think that that pushed RSI over the edge to bundle it into a
supported set of routines (that and I bugged one of the developers
about it mercilessly). It's very useful. In object/widget code, I
often have a "Send project to command line" choice, which lets people
play with the object directly.
