@polarit Nice. I quite like the way @lydell is [handling it here](https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/locating-a-server-bug-debugging-and-the-debugger-tool-for-beginners/9647/5) using a `let` for the debugger.

I think code can get quite messy fast using that function, so might be better used sparingly, checking each function as you go. And I suppose unit tests will go a long way to keeping bugs at bay.
