There is no need to change the code you want to debug, as the simple 
debugger
package can be written as an application:

tclsh debugger.tcl myapp.tcl a b c

where debugger.tcl looks like:

package require Debug   ;# Get the simple debugger of your choice
set appname [lindex $argv 0]
set argv [lrange $argv 1 end]
source $appname
