Description
Describe the feature you'd like
When debugging complex scenarios, sometimes Intellitrace debugging would be extremely powerful.
However when developing on a mac, you're stuck with a very low-level debugging experience in VS Code or a better experience in Rider, but that still falls short of what would be possible on Windows with full VS and Intellitrace.
As a .NET developer on macOS, I want to be able to use time-travel debugging and walk back breakpoints and see and change information on the stack and debug like it would be possible on Windows.
Alternatives considered
Install a VM and use VS, but this is cumbersome to set up because that would involve remote debugging as the code should run somewhere else (on the mac).
Environment Information
VS Code on macOS

Research direction
The issue names no implementation files or tests. Start by locating the C# Dev Kit debugging entry points and checking how Intellitrace or time-travel debugging could be supported on macOS. Done would mean a documented, working way to use the requested debugging workflow in VS Code.
