If you mean:
1. n <- next step over everything (including grep/map/sort).
2. s <- step into everything (including grep/map/sort).
3. forget nn and N.
Then I would think this would be (mostly very) intuitive change, and the
behaviour (most) people would expect from the debugger, most of the time.
You'd have to check for unwarranted side effects of course, such that blocks
other than single-line grep, map and sort, remain unaffected, but otherwise
it seems to me to be a good idea.
