One of the great features of IPython is that you are able to embed it in a currently executing program IPython.embed() so you can muck around with the current state at that point. This would be a great feature to support with the new REPL.

You can already start a second REPL from anywhere, but it doesn't have access to the local scope — that would require full lldb/gdb debugger support, I think. That said, I do think the new REPL will be invaluable as the interface for the debugger.

The boundary between the repl and debugger is going to be very fluid.
