Thanks much for putting this together. I do appreciate it.
At this stage, it might be better to go through and pull out the concepts
and capabilities we need, rather than get into the details of user
interface. Knowing, for example, that we need to provide help is more
important at this stage than knowing that the 'h' key provides it. (The
details arguably obscure things a bit more than we'd like at the moment)
Also, don't be constrained to command-line interfaces. I, for one, much
prefer GUI debuggers to command-line ones. If I have a 21" monitor handy
I'd as soon open up a dozen different windows monitoring a dozen different
things than be constrained to what'll fit into a terminal window, no matter
how big it might be. (Not, mind, that I'm proposing perl ship with a set of
graphic tools)
