#3 Immediate button for Debugger
This patch adds to IDLE debugger button that allows to
check current state of local and global dictionaries
not only on top level (as in debugger window) it can be
used to change values also (__dbg_locals__ and
__dbg_globals__ variables created). You should note
that this is some sort of "cheat" - i'm using standard
"code" module on top of IDLE console. Use this at your
own risk.

Note that Debugger.0.8.imm.0.2.patch can be applied to any
version of IDLE debugger from 0.6 to 0.8.1 (it had not
changed for long time)

this possible feature would be impacted by the remote
execution implementation that is ultimately chosen. hold
until that is in place.

Idle debugger currently allows viewing local and
global variables but doesn't have the
(desirable) functionality to change them. Will
evaluate the patch but may do it differently.
Pdb ability to move up and down the stack
sets a good example for this functionality.
