I don't know why I forgot to reply to this part, sorry about that.
I had intended to.  Correcting now.

Totally agreed!  It just seems so obvious.  I even put that in a slide in my FOSDEM presentation this
last February:

Slides 22-25.  Unfortunately I didn't have time to go through them in the actual talk.

If ever I have a chance of asking for debug features from MSFT, this will be one of them.
