IMHO, In this day and age, a proper debugger should by default show source code and execution point, should allow you to inspect variables, and change its values, you should be able to manually set the executing position, and you should be able to alter code and re-compile on the fly, continuing the debugging session.

I know this is really-really hard to accomplish, but some IDEs do it.

The only thing that's "optional" and a little over the top (but very useful) is time-travel debugging.
