debugger "Step Out"

A very quick note because its hardly important so I know I'll forget it.

Using MSVC recently and jumping back in the Pharo debugger

I had a moment when I missing their "Step Out" debugger feature.

Probably less important in Pharo where we tend to have shorter methods,

and you can always select up the stack and "Step Over",

but while I was in-the-flow "Step Out" was what the thing I wanted.

Anyway, just sharing the thought.

+1

although you can mimick it by going down one level in the call stack and
do a step-over

When “step-through” was added, that was a lifesaver as we have many block iterations.

Step out would also be a few less clicks than run to curser ... so it sounds complimentary.
