Description Saam Barati 2015-05-13 18:02:11 PDT 
Currently, it looks like the debugger will evaluate code inside the function's scope, and not the currently executing lexical scope.
This can be seen when setting a breakpoint and executing code in the console.
Comment 1 Saam Barati 2015-08-04 12:06:26 PDT 
This should probably be as simple as adding a new scope
type so we don't show let/const variables as "closure variables"
when they're really in the current call frame.
