 Replying to [comment:3 phercek]:
 > In addition to adding all the symbols (even the nonexported ones) from
 the module where breakpoint was hit, consider "executing" all the import
 directives of the module where the breakpoint was hit.

 The "top-level scope of a module" is exactly the set of names that are in
 scope in the source code of a module, including all those names in scope
 by virtue of being imported.  So I think the proposed solution would do
 what you want.
