No. The Rationale for ASIS appendix of the ASIS standard states
"It is not a goal to support tools having dynamic run-time requirements
(e.g., symbolic debugger)."
It can't be any clearer than that.

(Sorry I can't give you a reference to the standard so you can see for
yourself, as the ASIS standard is copyright ISO and thus cannot be made
publicly available.)
