Hi Daniil,

Thanks for taking this on!

This looks fine to me and I like the simplification of not having to 
re-list all the methods in the debuggee class in the debugger class. The 
test may break again in the future if compilation strategies change, but 
any test for synthetic methods obviously has a dependency on the 
compilation strategy, so that's not a concern.

Thanks,
David
