Patch for the debugger to enable stepping backwards. Stepping backwards is made possible by using a true history (earlier save command), and rerunning the debugger to the indicated command, or to so-many steps backwards, or to the current position. I've used 'rerun [[-]n]' as the command (h rerun) so as not to upset anyone with backward compatibility with the R command. Interestingly, it works quite well. The patch includes an update to the pod pages we accept (as man/doc), and some final whitespace clean up, and should apply to both 5.8.x and 5.9.x versions, (which should currently be identical, after the recent unforking episode).
