Not directly, as evaluate is just a doit�� but it can be added
as the machinery is there for evaluating in context in the debugger.

I will have a look but not this weekend.

The easiest solution I have found:

Smalltalk compiler evaluate:'a+b'
�� notifying: (Dictionary newFrom:{ WorkspaceVariable key:#a value:3. WorkspaceVariable key:#b value:4})
�� logged:nil

The dictionary is used as the receiver for the call to #bindingOf: and WorkspaceVariable acts like a LiteralVariable

that implements emitValue/emitStore
