I like this idea very much.  Please do not think in terms of slavishly
imitating any other debugger; rather, try to design the best way to
introduce these features into Emacs and make them fit in well with the
other features of Emacs.

We could add some new low-level features to Emacs for this, if
implementing them is feasible.  I added the overlay-arrow feature
for the sake of gud.el, way back when.
