Is there really a need? What information would be in the "symbolic
binary" that isn't already in the symbol table file and the listing file
(-s and -l output)?
Yes, source-level debugging is our eventual goal. No, don't expect to
see it in Stella 2.0... though maybe in the next release after that.
I'm hanging onto your list of features. Some of them are already
implemented, some were already planned for 2.0... but some of them are
of the "now why didn't I think of that" variety :)
