Description Martin Entlicher 2006-10-11 17:37:27 UTC 
In some cases it's necessary to hold a value (which is retrieved from debuggee
as a result of an expression evaluation) and call various methods on it.
Fixed watches can be used to hold a value (a reference to some specific object),
but it's currently not possible to use that fixed value in other expressions.
Some symbolic names could be associated with fixed watches.
