I've been wanting this feature ever since I watched a video of TempleOS, which featured images in source code (everything is in "DolDoc" format: http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/a-constructive-look-at-temp...). I'd love to be able to drop in diagrams, screen shots, and scribbles into the source code of my personal projects!

Yeah, I actually started on a package that would render comments as markdown, allowing you to create 'notebook'-style source code. I gave up when exploring the API and not finding a good way to replace lines with (possibly variably-height) content.

There's also the problem that Atom doesn't have any debuggers worth speaking of so far. That could change now.

I'll have a look into this. Sounds great anyway.
