Well (as the article points out) integrating with the stepper and
stepper-like tools is something that we're still figuring out, so you
need to actually hack the source of the stepper at the moment. 

As far as how to get it working with the other tools, you merely
implement the language with macros and drscheme and the tools take care
of the rest. Wait for next month's DrDobbs for more details on that
one. :)
