If value of a variable is changed when debugger is suspended old value is always returned from DebugContext

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Google Chrome version: 11.0.696.50 beta
SDK + Eclipse Debugger version(s): 0.2.2
OS + version: Ubuntu 10.10

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect to Chrome instance using the API, set a breakpoint in some file.
2. When the breakpoint is reached, obtain value of some local variable 
from DebugContext using getCallFrames(), getVariablesScopes(), getVariables() 
methods.
3. Change value of the variable using 
CallFrame#getEvaluateContext().evaluateAsync("varName=newvalue",...) method 
call.
4. When value is changed try to obtain value of the variable from the 
DebugContext.

What is the expected result?

There should be a way to clear caches of DebugContext to fetch the new value.

What happens instead?

The cached old value is always returned.

Please provide any additional information below. If possible, attach a
(reduced) test-case.

It would be sufficient to add clearCaches() method to DebugContext class. 
However I think it would be better to automatically clear caches when methods 
like 'evaluateAsync' or JsVariable#setValue are called. I suppose there're not 
too much ways to change values when the debugger is suspended.

Is there a way to clear caches for local variables? For example if I have an 
'int' local variable, obtain its value using JsScope#getVariables, 
JsVariable#getValue methods and then assign a new value to that variable the 
old value is always returned from the DebugContext. 
DebugContext.getDefaultRemoteValueMapping().clearCaches() method doesn't help.

Probably this has been missed.

The problem with scopes actually has 2 parts:
  -- old protocol does not clears scope cached values (should be fixed)
  -- V8 does not allow to change local variables; eval expressions work with copy of local variables, i.e. they can modify them, but the change is only visible to eval itself;
