About the only way to deal >with the situation is to use a flag to indicate the value (can you say >indicator? :-) ) I know that people were accustomed to displaying and changing the result indicators on I/O operations in the debugger. Wishing for the debugger to support displaying a builtin function is reasonable. (You can ask, but you won't get. Some of the feedback bifs do just return simple variables, but others require code-generation using compiler internals to calculate the value. Duplicate this in the debugger would be impossible.) These BIFs are not just syntactic replacements for indicators. They are functions, and you can't ever set and reset a function; you can only call it.
