The debug info for a nested function has an entry for a "this" variable which points to the variables in the parent function that the nested function can use. The type of that variable is void*.

If it were a kind of struct, then we could see those dependent variables. This is particularly useful for closures where the user can't look at the enclosing function's frame directly.

I guess it would be an enhancement. I updated the bug.
