Description

We should look into providing a stepping debugger.

Truffle languages can get one with (relatively) minimal effort, but the experience in Pkl is questionable, because there are no statements.
We can start with a POC and see what the experience looks like.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing the existing Pkl and Truffle debugging context, then define a small stepping-debugger POC; done means the POC exists and its experience in a language without statements has been evaluated.
