#2803: bring full top level of a module in scope when a breakpoint is hit in the
module

It should do something like {{{:module + *ModuleWhereBreakpointWasHit}}}
and remove the added top level symbols of
{{{ModuleWhereBreakpointWasHit}}} when we leave it.
The goal is so that the functions which are in scope when we hit a
breakpoint are readily available for investigations of the values stored
in the free variables of the selected expression.
This feature request is a consequence of the dicsussion in this ticket
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2740#comment:4
... and a realated thing: When I do something like {{{:module + ModName}}}
and later I do {{{:module + *ModName}}} then the non-exported symbols from
{{{ModName}}} are not added into the scope.
