I'd just like to be able to show a sliced view of a variable.
Adding breaks by variable value would be nice BUT.  not really
needed.  Actually the slicing isn't NEEDED but would be greatly
appreciated.

Say I have a long sequence like.
sequence s
s = rand(repeat(256,50))-1
and I want to see the value stored at 32
? s[32] would be great but.
adding this will work.
integer s32
s32 = s[32]
then I would be able to ? s32 Of course at that point of
assignment it would show it anyway.  BUT this isn't great
for multiple values over a large area.  The best that can be
done at that point is taking it into big chunks and ciphering
through it the best you can.  NOT a Pretty sight.
