The Equivalent of Breakpoints #35

Open LinqLover opened 2 years ago

How could a tracing equivalent of breakpoints look like? Brainstorm useful mappings to trace queries #19/#22.

Random idea: Option to halt at all raised errors (not only unhandled errors, cf. VS Code's "caught exceptions"):

This would be useful in systems that suppress many exceptions (which, however, could also be considered a bad design of that system).

Considering this idea in general, halting at specific contexts that match a query (basically a context filter?) could provide an alternative to context search or manual and static breakpoints.
