Smart commands from pdb++? #4

Open msabramo opened 9 years ago

msabramo commented 9 years ago

pypdb inherits from pdb this issue that all python debuggers I know of have except for pdb++

If you have a variable called c or r and you type one of those to see it's value, it will continue or restart.

Pdb++ has a neat feature where the variable takes precedence and if you want the command, you do e.g.: `!!c``.

Wanted to float the idea before working on a PR, as some folks might not like it.
