Description
Example:
using Flux
W = param(randn(10,10))
y = sum(W * randn(10))
Attempting to @enter the Flux.back!(y) works, but halfway through I reliably hit errors when attempting to step within (Core.kwfunc):
julia> @enter Flux.back!(y)

Research direction
Reproduce the failure by stepping through the reported Flux.back!(y) example with @enter. Start at ASTInterpreter2/src/ASTInterpreter2.jl:180, where print_next_state prints the debugger state, and inspect the related status path in DebuggerFramework/src/DebuggerFramework.jl:209. Done means stepping through this call no longer raises the nothing printing error.
