[m-dev.] new release of Mercury

[Erwan Jahier]

| Further to this, I recently had reason to use the debugger and found it a
| somewhat painful experience.  In fact, I gave up altogether and resorted to
| littering my program with printfs, er... io__formats.
| 
| BUG REPORT: the debugger needs a one or two page example of use in the
| documentation.
| 
| REQUEST: I would like the ability to define macros that issue more than one
| command to the debugger - e.g. `forward; print *'.

Use Opium-M ;-)

Then you will be able to define (in Prolog) any macros you need. Note that you
don't need to know Prolog to use it, just to extend it. I say that because I
have recently realised that a lot of people think they need to program in
Prolog to use Opium-M, which is wrong.
