[now is my turn, boys and girls]

SADE is the *most extended* source-level debugger available for MacOS
development. Sure SourceBug, Think-Debugger and Steve Jasik are
more userfriendly, but the possibility to extend the functionality
is one of the main existense reasons for SADE. Sometimes it makes
sense to write testing/debugging scripts - but sometimes it does
not make sense at all.
