Debugging and the execution path

[Dennis Brown]

Saving the watched set with the object is useful, because you may  
have more than one project you are working on and debugging.  It is  
nice to start up where you left off --when rev crashes due to some  
horrible bug in your code.

On the other hand, if you keep most of your handlers in a stack or  
card script, then it is not as useful having them saved on an object  
by object basis, because all the scripts are in the same object.

Still, all things considered custom properties are a reasonable and  
simple way to keep track of debugging stuff.
