+breaks dont pause at a client -- they just send a ping when they get hit -- if you want to pause you should say ((when-e breakpoint) . -=> . (pause p)); maybe take a thunk to do when the breakpoint is hit?
+
+make syntax errors work for invalid bindings ... take the syntax when the binding is made and save it in a hashtable
+
+provide set-running! again
