My recommendation is to expose Coercion pausing in the Event BP panel, from which we can then iterate to expose it properly – I would love to hear more thoughts though.

Blocks: dbg-event-bps

My main question in this is whether this is something SpiderMonkey can expose for us easily. Since it would be a broad flag, probably on Debugger, I could see it causing deoptimization for any math operation, and any builtin that can produce NaN. I'd want their thoughts on whether that is something that could be problematic.
