I am trying to inspect the value of a variable at a determined breakpoint. Here is my simplified code: (defun foo () (maplist (lambda (var) (break) var) '(a b c))) slime goes into debugger mode at this point. So I try to eval by pressing either the ":" or the "e" key and then I type "(car var)", but slime keeps on saying: The variable VAR is unbound. [Condition of type UNBOUND-VARIABLE] I am confused as to why it's saying this since "(break)" is within the scope of "var".
