Perhaps there's an argument for having two debugging modes for compiled programs - the "basic" best-effort one that is what we already have, and a feature-complete one that requires tight runtime integration and cannot relate to any of the compiled assembly. But that's adding a decent amount of complication & confusion, doesn't really help coredumps, and still has to pay the cost of having things be deoptimizable even if at limited locations.
