It think avoiding having to do these types of "hacks" though are important because having to add superfluous stuff to code just to get a desired debugging experience is not good practice. It dirties up the source code adding junk that is not necessary.On Monday, 29 October 2018 at 07:48:28 UTC, Rainer Schuetze wrote:If the "case" deserve folding maybe just add a scope "{}" ?
