I know I can bypass the problem, but it would be great to get private
var or return value from function more quickly.
I mean for example:
MyModule2 = function (strInput) {
    if (false === (this instanceof MyModule2)) {
        return new MyModule2();
    }

    var str = strInput;
    this.getStr = function () {
        return str;
    }

    this.customStr = "custom str";

};

document.getElementById("Button2").onclick = function () {
        var module2 = new MyModule2("input");

        console.log(module2.getStr());
       debugger;
    }

In the quick watch panel (very nice feature), this.customStr is
displaying "custom str" because it is public :perfect.
It's impossible to spy the str var because it is private. If I add a
watch, str var is undefined which is wrong because str="input".
So to get the str var, I use my public Getter function getStr(). The
quick watch panel shows getStr with a link to jump to the code (no
problem), but it would be perfect if another row helps to watch the
data returned when asked. I need to right click getStr, select "add
watch" then reformat the watch from "module2.getStr" to
"module2.getStr()" and finally get the data "input".

I think being able to spy private var and spy returned value from
function when needed would be a great feature to ease javascript
debugging.
