          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All

1. Stop on a breakpoint with "dir" or "$" variables in scope.
2. Eval "dir" in the console.

Expected: dir value
Actual: dir function from the command line API.

The reason is that we eval "with (commandLineApi) { expression }". It does not seem feasible to support both: command line api and proper eval in scope on a breakpoint. Options are:
a. do not inject command line api while on a breakpoint (pros: no confusion, cons: no inspect methods and other command line goodness)
b. inject an object with the API, so that user could type foo.inspect()
c. inject missing functions into the console object.

I am leaning toward (a) for now.
