 Quaff.Debug
 -----------
 
 The Debug module provides a simple helper interface for running Elixir code in the erlang graphical debugger, using the technique I described in [this posting](http://qhool.github.io/elixir/2014/02/06/elixir-debug.html).

 Also provided is `nload(module)` (equivalent to `load(module, all_nodes: true)`), which debugs the module[s] on all known nodes.
