That's true, and that would be a good starting point for some extensions to
aid development. But imagine a closely-coupled assembler where you could set
a breakpoint in the source file, and then start the emulated machine
running. As soon as execution reaches that breakpoint, there is a marker in
the source, and you can single step through the object code and see all
register values, etc. No more tracing through the Monitor, instead you trace
through your assembly source.
