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.
