Changing source on the fly (Was: Lisp Book(s) in the K&R Style)

Is it possible in CMUCL to change the source when stepping through the
debugger? I mean, the source of the very function or loop you are
stepping through.

This is one of few things that I've enjoyed in Visual Basic and I'm
curious when I will find it in any lisp debugger.
