That might be true but I'd still want a source on that because the assertion makes no sense: aside from the value-returning property, all the overlap between dbg! and Debug.Trace is already covered by println!.

And as far as I can see Debug.Trace doesn't contain anything like dbg!: the closest would be traceShowId, which neither shows the traced expression (before evaluation) nor the location information.

Why don't you commence a formal inquiry, analyze the complete discussion history, acquire a sworn statement from Centril and report your findings here?

It seems weird to get so hung up on the word inspired... but I'm looking forward to the report!
