As v8 API evolves and changes, we have to catch and handle breaking changes in the code.
@kvakil suggest to use debug_helper in llnodesee proposal.
The debug module includes GetStackFrame and
GetObjectProperties functions. Presumably, V8 would be receptive to
patches to implement other functionality.
Scope
The main goal is to make llnode more maintainable in the mid/long term.

Documenting how to maintain debug_helper dependencies
Having a proper testing strategy
