yes and yes. It should be possible with a plugin, but would require
extending the current API. I'll see if I can put a prototype together
in the next few days.

I can't say for sure without knowing more about your system, but you
may be surprised ;). I'm using ZBS to debug wxlua/wxwidgets
applications that have somewhat similar architecture and it's also
been used to debug scripts running a variety of environments from
Nginx/OpenResty scripts to debugging multi-threaded embedded apps. The
way it works is that the Lua state is blocked by the debugger, but the
rest of the application can continue without any issues; the debugger
also provides a callback that can be used during that "waiting period"
to give ticks back to your application (this is used in event driven
GUI applications to avoid showing "busy" status).
