I am guilty of this but for a different reason: setting up debugging for clis in rust is hard

I love the debugger. I use it all the time I can. But when debugging cli it's a pain as you need to go back in the launch.json file, remake the argument list, then come back to run debug, find out why tf it doesn't find cargo when it's the PATH... again, then actually debug.

I don't feel at all guilty of doing this. Whatever works. Usually nothing is so complicated that I need to debug properly, instead of just inspecting some value along the way.

In fact, if it gets the bug resolved, it is—effectively—debugging.
