Support for executing to a line #7

We've observed many developers execute the strategy without stepping through the tool. Once they get ahead of where the tool is, there's no easy way for them to synchronize their state with the tools state other than laboriously stepping through each step and recalling their decisions. We could support a way of simply executing the procedure to a future step, skipping the data entry for intermediate steps, and noting that the developer did something, but we don't know what (e.g., adding labels that say "You skipped this step").

What would happen to the variables in the skipped lines by skipping to future step?
