[nem-en] Debug support

[Kamil Skalski]

This is surely a long and a bit boring process to ensure that debug
info is in correct format to understand by MDbgr... but maybe we can
fix the worst cases easily. I was searching for some tool to inspect
generated debug info and found:

For the easier start, you could post the most problematic examples, so
I can play with them (at best with their C# counterparts, so we can
compare). Currently I'm looking at:

def x = 333;

match (x) {
  | 1 => ()
  | 2 => ()
  | 3 => ()
  | 4 => System.Console.WriteLine (x);
  | 5 => System.Console.WriteLine (x);
  | 333 => System.Console.WriteLine (x);
  | _ => System.Console.WriteLine (x);
}

if (false)
  Nemerle.IO.printf ("Ala %d ma \n", 5);
else {
  def li = [1,2,3];
  System.Console.WriteLine (li);
}
