Should debug nodes be capable of passing the message forwards?

Since node-red uses the word "wire" to refer to connections, I propose using the word "debug clamp" for adding debug capabilities to wires because it kind reminds me of why I use an amp clamp. When I want to check if there is energy flowing (messages) through wires, and how much it is handling (message details), I use an amp clamp

  • A debug clamp doesnt need a redeploy.
  • You can sub/unsub to debug wire topics on need.
  • Debug topics are created for every wire during deploy.
  • When an debug clamp is added to a wire, the wire changes its color, or a ring is drawn around it.
