Thanks for this documentation update;
calling the debugger from the macro language is potentially very useful as one can then start the debugger automatically when a certain condition is met; to inspect the symbol table and step forward from the given breakpoint.
I looked quickly at the source code to see if there were more functions missing from the documentation and found that this is not documented in functions.html
restorePreviousTool
It is self-explanatory and works as expected.
I also see that these functions are declared as aliases of other functions:
getResultsCount (same as nResults)
putPixel (same as setPixel)
write (same as print)
That could also be mentioned in functions.html
And there is one orphan function which does not seem to be implemented or used anywhere:
invert
So trying to name a variable "invert" in a macro will also give an error message.
Perhaps it should be removed, as it currently has no purpose?

“debug” is a built in function that calls the macro debugger. The arguments are "break” (the default), "run", "trace", "fast-trace" and "dump”.
