Proposing a nice debugging feature

[T.J. Crowder]

Preference, really, is to use the features of your debugger rather than
modifying source. But for those times you need to modify source, why do we
need new syntax for this? These seem sufficient:

```js
if (typeof someVariable === 'undefined') debugger;
```

or

```js
typeof someVariable === 'undefined' && debugger;
```

*(since it's temporary throw-away code, style objections by some [like me]
can be ignored...)*
