[squeak-dev] Debugger hiccups

Hi Eliot,

Seeing that the commit is called "fix debugging of optimized expressions", I remembered  that I had recently stumbled
upon a debugger annoyance related to an optimized expression.
I checked and unfortunately it is still there, so if you fell inspired :)

One easy way to see it is to debug CompiledMethod>>#= , comparing a compiled method to itself.
In the to:do: loop, at every iteration, the debugger highlights the early exit "^false", even though it does not
actually execute it.

Cheers,
Florin
