Hi

I am debugging (again) at the moment, and am wondering, uf it would be
possible to have conditional breakpoints in ess-tracebug? At the moment,
I modify the source code with an if statement and put the breakpoint in
the if :

if (x==0) {
  cat(x)   ## Add breakpoint here
}

but it would be nice if a conditional breakpoint could be included.

Also: would it be possible to define watch variables, whose values are
shown after each line executed? This could be in a new buffer, as the
main buffer could become quite cluttered.

And finally: the tab-completion is not working when debugging, but the
same applies when using browser() - so it has nothing to do with
ess-tracebug in particular, but is related to debugging.

Cheers,

Rainer
