I know that DMD views SKs as documentation, but they actually have a bearing on program execution.

Could you consider adding a comparison of the values to program comparisons?   Thanks!
I retract my earlier statement that half of all politicians are crooks.  Half of all politicians are NOT crooks.  There.

Can you also make the symbolic constants viewable from a Data View?  No telling how many times I've been debugging a program, and it says SomeNumber, and I want to see what SomeNumber is, only to find it won't populate in a Data View and then it dawns on me to check the Documentation...

Oh yeah, that one bites me on a regular basis too.

Good idea.

We do that for Trend View (SC or just regular constants).  They show up as a dotted line across all time and space.

Interesting from an implementation standpoint.  Great idea regardless.
