    _______________________________________________________

Details:

This patch allows evalin() to evaluate from contexts other than the immediate
parent of the caller or the base context.

It allows evalin (level, expression) to evaluate in the context of the
level'th ancestor.

Alternatively, evalin('=id', expression) evaluates in the context of the
ancestor named id.

I find this particularly useful for conditional breakpoints.
