						  	 The "Watch List" window is a debug tool useful to visualize the content of globals and locals in runtime. The
							 window automatically refreshes its content as you progress through the script while debugging.<br>
							 <br>
							 When the variable beeing watched is a table, it will parse its content recursively to display all elements with their value. If the value
							 is another table (sub-tables), it will also parse its content and so on. For performances reasons, there is a maximum
							 level of sub-tables you can adjust through the <a href="..\The LuaEdit Framework\GeneralSettings.html">"Debug Tab"</a>
							 of LuaEdit's settings. Also, since Lua allows cyclic referencing (EG: "a = {}; a._self = a;"), another setting
							 is available for cyclic referencing check. (extremmely recommended since this could lead to infinite loop when debugging)
							 If the variable beeing watched is anything else but a table, LuaEdit will try to display its best definition. That is,
							 for functions, userdata and lightuserdata it will display its pointer address, for strings and numbers it will
							 display its content, etc.<br>
							 <br>
							 A watch variable item can be change the same way you rename a file in windows explorer and more than one item can
							 be watched at once.
