This is what I do.
It can add a step to debugging, but it also allows you ask if a constant
is in a certain range then perform some action. For instance I have a
lot of code that calls common methods, but in that method I also want
to know the context of why it was called. For instance did a timer call
this, user, etc. or what group of tables I am working with, part
numbers, documents, user tables?
