Debug needed idea!

I am running PB4.2... I wish I could mix strings and numerical values in Debug... It is so tiresome to create a number I want to tag into a string just so I can have it on the same line!
The ability to just put:
Debug "Idiots Value: "+ d.d
Would be beyond price... I might have to donate enough for everyone to have a dinner or something!

It's at the point where I either just use "Debug X" without any leading string,
or I just use CallDebugger (to pause my app) and then read the ToolTip for
each variable instead. Doing either of these annoys the hell out of me.

I'm really missing something and not trying to be a smart-ass, but
Debug "Idiots value " + strD(d)
is too much trouble?

@rsts: Frankly, yes.
Okay, in my case I usually debug several numbers on a single Debug line,
and adding any string means I then have to wrap them all with Str(). Which
do you think of the below lines is less trouble to type? That's our point.
Code: Select all
Debug "Results: "+StrF(a.f)+", "+StrD(b.d)+", "+Str(c)

Gotcha, no problem, I understand.
My personal preference would be to do the typing myself and have Fred work on other features that I can't do as easily myself, but I see your point.
cheers
