could ghci debugger search for free variables better?

May be my approach to debugging with ghci is wrong
but in about half of the time I find ghci (as a
debugger) almost useless. The reason is the limited
way it can resolve identifiers. I can examine
the free variables in the selected expression and
nothing else. Well, I *think* just sometimes I can
examine few more variables. But if it happens at
all it is rare.
Is there a way to make ghci recognize all the variables
which could be visible in the selected expression?
By "could be visible" I mean they are in scope and
can be used in the expression if I would edit the
source code.
... well I would like to see the stack too but this
does not annoy me that much.
Peter.
