Summary: Integrate testing with debugger

Initial Comment:
I would like to debug a specific test method.  In order to do so, I 
must do the following in the interactions pane after setting up the 
appropriate breakpoints (to be completely correct, there might be 
other methods that should be invoked):

MyTestClass t = new MyTestClass();
t.setUp();
t.testSomething();

If I need to do it again, I have to repeat those 3 statements.  Since 
bugs are often exposed by tests, a more elegent solution is 
desireable.

EASY SOLUTION: Allow debugging and testing to happen 
concurrently, permitting the user to "Test Current File" and hit the 
breakpoint.

ELEGENT SOLUTION: When the user right-clicks in a test method 
body, have a "Debug test method" option.  A breakpoint is 
automatically created at the first line of the method.  (Of course, in 
order to do this, the editor needs to have a symbolic understanding 
of the text, similar to that required for code completion.)
