Technologically very cool! I don't know that I'd ever use it for
actual debugging, especially as it'll get VERY spammy as soon as you
start working with complex objects, but it looks like a fun thing to
play with. I see it as a parallel to dis.dis() - one looks at the
disassembly and the other at the resulting actions, and between them
you can get a fairly good idea of what's happening.

Still don't know of any places I'd actually use it productively, but
hey, nothing wrong with cool toys :)
