In fact, there is a STOP keyword, which acts like a breakpoint.
But this is *always* a breakpoint when encountered in debug mode,
not something you can turn on or off dynamically.

Otherwise, I'd use a constant statement like

It's short, quick, strange and reasonably easy to find for you
(but not easy to interpret for your coworkers, I guess). Unlike
Debug and Print, it does not pollute the output of your program.
