 GDB has a really nice TUI mode:

 It's a curses interface which highlights the line number you're on, and
 also shows the surrounding lines.

 GHCi currently allows stepping through with the `:step` command, which
 displays line and column numbers. It would be nice to have some visual
 indication along with these numbers.
