No, there is not.

You can use the trace function (defined in StdErr) to trace the
evaluation.
There is a time and space profiler to inspect time and space
consumption.

It would be great to have a nice debugger.
The main problem is that so many transformations take place in the Clean
compiler that the correspondence between source code and final program
is hard to explain to the ignorence user.
