Probe on loop iterator

I often want to see if a while or for loop is running by watching the loop iterator. Now I have to stop the program, wire the loop iterator to the border of the loop, add a probe to the wire and run the program.

 

It would be great that I could right click the loop iterator and add a probe while a program is running.

Pretty much the entirety of vi.lib has debugging turned ON specifically so that you can dive into our VIs if you need to do so. Debugging only gets turned off at AppBuilder. The topic of changing that has come up a few times over the years, but so far the decision has always been that the debugability is worth more than the performance gains.
