hmm not really, I didn't try to mess with "watch".

I'm personally using and testing my patched version for years now, and there are edge cases where it fails.

The debugger really needs refactoring and modularization.

For instance the command-loop spreads over hundreds and hundreds of lines with if-blocks on regex-conditions and interwoven POD as documentation, where order matters. Thats extremely hard to patch.

Plus there doesn't seem to be any test suite. :(
