The opposite is more true: you want the debugger do for you whatever you 
ask it for. Question is *who* is asking the debugger to call a 
subroutine, to e.g. get an property value. A user should not have to dig 
into the getter code, in order to determine whether it's safe to call 
that specific getter.
