[racket-dev] [racket] match and debug in Advanced Student

I have no idea what the Debug button does... I call it the "Crash
DrRacket" button, because that's what it did in the early 2000s when I
started with Racket. I'm not sure I'm the best person to debug this
(despite otherwise being responsible for match in ASL.) Anyone else
have ideas what this could mean?
