Dump list of local variables in where

[chaen]

Description

py-spy has the nice option of dumping the content of the local variables and arguments when dumping a live program.
This shows extremely useful to debug.
Do you think this could be added to Austin, which seems a very nice alternative for python >= 3.12 ?

Steps to Reproduce

1. austin -w <pid>

@chaen thanks for your feature request. It would certainly be possible to allow Austin to dump more information about each frame. However, whilst not complex, it is a change that would require considerable effort, at least from my side. Unfortunately this isn't something that I can commit to, but I'd gladly accept any community contributions.
