Description
Right now, any input into the debug console that's handled by the debug adapter, triggers an entire new update chain. This should be customizable.
If a debug adapter is viewing a large scope, and a debugger "power user" want's to input something into the debug console, for whatever reason, perhaps access/perform commands that can't / shouldn't be / isn't suitable to be shown in the UI, it will trigger an update chain - re-requesting all the data that is displayed, which can be quite a bit. This is a burden for the end-user, as they will have to remember to "close" all scopes before entering any input.
Solution:
Make the requests the debug console handles (evaluateRequest) customizable by being able to set a field on the response object "doNotUpdate" or something like that. I think you're getting what I am aiming for here.
