Love it. Thanks Jerry.
One suggestion (perhaps for discussion) ....
you mentioned the frequent requests for features that belong in a
traditional debugger, but not in decoder. I think you would help reduce
this, and help us all to remember that it is a different beast from an
old-fashioned debugger, if you could change the terminology used.
They are not "breakpoints" ! the execution doesn't 'break' when it gets
to one. I think you should call them "statuspoints" or "contextpoints"
or "monitorpoints" of some other name that more closely reflects their
purpose and effect.
