Most of this was TL:DNR, but I will admit I often wish for a better way
to log intermediate values. For example, a common pattern in the code
I'm working with now is functions that end in:
return [Foo(x) for x in bunch_of_x_thingies]
When something goes amiss and I want to debug the problem, I often
transform that into:
temp = [Foo(x) for x in bunch_of_x_thingies]
logger.debug(temp)
return temp
It would be convenient to be able to get at and log the intermediate
value without having to pull it out to an explicit temporary.
