Description
Basic debug capabilities exist, but more is better including:
- Improved output for the dump of module contents so code is human readable (currently the output is one giant string)
- Wrapping of errors to allow easier tracing of root causes. This is especially critical because many errors could take the form of JSON unmarshalling errors
- The ultimate debug tool would be a way to drop into a REPL for the running OPA driver

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing debug capabilities and the OPA driver entry points. The issue covers three separate goals: human-readable module dumps, wrapped errors that expose JSON unmarshalling causes, and a REPL for the running driver. Done would require defining and implementing the scope of the selected debugging improvements.
