One patch, one new file.

The stepper works in SBCL, and should be fairly self-explanatory. C-s to toggle stepping, c to step inwards and x to quit stepping but keep running. You need to compile with high debug quality.

One gotcha: Slime will only display the source correctly if you compile the entire file with C-c C-k.

Due to a few requests lately, I thought I should mention something: This code is obsolete.

It only ever really worked on SBCL, and even there not perfectly. I'm rewriting it as something that should work everywhere, but meanwhile any non-fatal bugs are going to go unfixed - sorry about that.

Oh, and the "s" key (activate-stepping) won't work. Use the restarts.
