Currently, if the user wants to inspect the raw version of a synthetic variable, they have to go to the debug console and type `frame var <variable>, which is not a great experience. Taking inspiration from CodeLLDB, this adds a `[raw]` child to every synthetic variable so that this kind of inspection can be done visually.

Not sure I like this showing up all of the time. It is fine for people that want to debug synthetic child providers, but seeing this all of the time adds noise to the variable window for no real benefit. I believe that plug-ins can have settings within VS code and it would be nice to make this a setting that can be set in the IDE, though I am not sure if native DAP plug-ins like lldb-vscode can access those settings. |
