No

Story:
User has the debugger open, and would like to watch the
value of a variable. He right clicks on the variable
in the Definitions Pane and selects "Toggle Watch".
The variable is added to the list of watched variables
in the DebugPanel.

Notes:
We don't have any notion for what text is a field or
variable and what isn't, so this can't be foolproof.
But perhaps it can be useful anyway, even if we just
drop the current word (whatever it happens to be) into
the Watches tab. Repeating the action should remove
the variable from the tab.

    This might be easier to implement as a one-way trip. The user
    could remove the watch by going to the watch tab. We
    should make sure that there is a context menu available there
    for removing, since the user will probably expect to keep using
    the same interaction style for both functions.

    Remove Watch is already in the contextual menu for the Watches
    table, so we're half-way there.
