IIRC, the Dr. Scheme editor had such features back in 1999.
I have long felt that it's a shame that the Common Lisp community and the Scheme community are so badly splt. I strongly suspect that Common Lisp has a lot to learn from DrScheme.
They can be very useful on occasion; but the need to interact with them can be a hindrance. Also annoying is when the act of refactoring code breaks the tools used to simplify the process.
At ILC09, Duane Rettig outlined a smart debugger that could step all the way from source through macros down to compiled code. A similar framework may be needed to expose the IT in an anaphoric macro.
Very interesting. It sure would be nice if all that good work being done at Franz were open source. (I do understand why it's not.)
