Description

I wonder if it could be possible for the interpreter to not use undefined variables in the debugging pass due to some switch. That would make it easy to run in some pass and identify that undefined allocations are causing the issue. Of course, making this default would be weird and cause code that doesn't work to work in the debugger, so I am not recommending that, but it could be interesting to have an option for it to do some quick checks?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the interpreter's debugging pass and how undefined variables are handled. Clarify the proposed switch's scope and expected behavior, including quick checks without changing default debugging semantics. Establish the acceptance criteria before considering implementation.
