In a recent posting, Kurt Vandenebrg (vanden@srcsip.uucp) asked an
interesting question in a somewhat non-specific way. Since this is
of interest to me either, I'll ask again:

Looking for leads on symbolically debugging compiled AND OPTIMIZED
code. The farther the distance between the high-level and compiled
code, the harder this is going to be. The toughest thing would
probably be from a high-level language directly to microcode (with
optimization!).

I think that LMI can compile (a subset of) zetalisp to microcode.
Can you instruct the compiler to optimize as well? Can you symbolically
debug the resulting program?

Are you developing/using/aware of other such systems?
