But if I can only see the results of named function calls, I don't get the intermediate values.
A typical situation would be a function that looks like
f x = sum [...]
When my unit test reports that the sum is wrong, I'd then like to use a debugging tool to look at the list before summation.
... so in hat-observe, you could ask to see "sum _" only in the context of a call from f, which might report something like sum [1,2,3] = 6 sum [1,2,4] = 9 and you could then use hat-trail to examine why the second equation gave the wrong answer, by looking into its internals. Or on the other hand, the addition may be correct but the fault is that the wrong list argument was passed to "sum" in the first place, in which case you explore where that came from instead.
