Title says it all, I think, except to say, the only debugger I've ever used (in 30+ years) that does this is the firefox devtools debugger.

Related? The ultra-annoyance caused by "optimized away". I have no problem with the engine doing this on runtime code running PURELY in the browser, but that's entirely different to code being debugged - it has THREE (at least) "clients" one of them, me, a human.

Said another way, how can the engine know when it's optimal to remove something from my personal view?
