    I've been known to many times.  I'm running perfectly functional
code and want to make some modifications that display more of an
analysis of what it is doing.  Also, I designed said program so that it
picks up where it left off.  That means the program can be getting
some work done while I make the modifications.  Then I simply
stop and restart the program to view more details.

<strong>
  This isn't hypothetical.  I've created and run code of that nature.
