This change is not imminent, but will be done in the next few months.
It just occurred to me that a nice stopgap measure would be some kind of button or shortcut that allows you to restart the IDE and reload the current project. If something like that were easy to implement, you could lean on that in the mean time until you're able to separate the compiler from the debugger.
