   * remote debugger) but they all must be handled synchronously: V8 cannot
   * do 2 things at one time so normal script execution must be interrupted
   * for a while.
   *
   * Generally when message arrives V8 may be in one of 3 states:
   * 1. V8 is running script; V8 will automatically interrupt and process all
   * pending messages;
   * 2. V8 is suspended on debug breakpoint; in this state V8 is dedicated
   * to reading and processing debug messages;
   * 3. V8 is not running at all or has called some long-working C++ function;
   * by default it means that processing of all debug messages will be deferred
   * until V8 gets control again; however, embedding application may improve
   * this by manually calling this method.
   *
   * Technically this method in many senses is equivalent to executing empty
   * script:
   * 1. It does nothing except for processing all pending debug messages.
   * 2. It should be invoked with the same precautions and from the same context
   * as V8 script would be invoked from, because:
   *   a. with "evaluate" command it can do whatever normal script can do,
   *   including all native calls;
   *   b. no other thread should call V8 while this method is running
   *   (v8::Locker may be used here).
   *
   * "Evaluate" debug command behavior currently is not specified in scope
   * of this method.
