When debugging C++, you can use registers in the watch windows in expressions. ie: (char*)rax -> "hello" (if rax is a pointer to a string for example) When debugging D code, the expression evaluation engine is changed, and the registers don't work. Can the D debugger also evaluate registers in expressions?

> Can the D debugger also evaluate registers in expressions? It currently cannot, but I have also missed that from time to time. Especially when entering the register into the address line of the memory window.

Mmm, would be cool.
