Not that I know of. Here's something else that's quite handy though :
If you use arrays, you have probably noticed you can't put them in watch
windows. Say you have Buffer[10]. Use #define to define Buffer0 to
Buffer9
with the correct memory locations (get them from the symbol table).

Do you know of any way to define a bitwatch other than register:bit? It
would be nice to see the name of the flag...
