Description of feature request

For debugging larger python programs (that aren't just one-off executions) it would be excellent if Austin integrated with the vscode debugger and you could step over a function and have an Austin flamegraph profile after the function execution is done.

A command like "Austin: Step Over" would be a good API. "Austin: Step Out" would be nice as well. Or even "Austin: Run until next breakpoint".

If these were non-invasive enough, I would consider replacing the native debugger calls with these.

@rwarren this is a great idea. To implement something like this however I think we would have to implement a full debugger, and then add Austin on top of it. Then we would have to make a dedicated debugger adapter for VS Code. Maybe a shortcut could be to fork the existing Python debugger and add Austin profiling to it.
