When debugging, I used a memory window. I entered address, saw what I needed and was quite happy. Sure, the name I entered got out of context quite soon. After that, on each stop IDE pops up a dialog "No symbol \"wrong_symbol\" in current context". This is not convenient and not consistent with watches: if watch gets out of scope, it just shows error message in watch window.
