Is this not considered a bug? What about for the complex template 
types like

module library.configrators;
struct PostHardThunk(Test, Actuator).


Do I really have to type all that stuff out just to get a watch?

Should the debugger not get the current module and type the 
cursor is at and use them as defaults?
