i am heavy node-red user with 100's of automations.. few on top of my list

1. debug node should print all properties (not just payload) by default.
2. a central place to store the settings/credentials with user friendly UI (see this [thread](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-do-you-securely-give-credentials-to-a-stand-alone-function-node) where I ended by creating a contrib) . Current global context requires a flow to edit/create settings and those settings are not encrypted when saved on disk.
3. easy way to update the function import libraries('modules'? in setup tab of function nodes) to latest version
