dae think we've gone a little off the deep end with naming?

one of the 2 hardest things in programming. i agree it should be fun, but should't library naming directly tie into readable code. sure, it'd be boring to call it 'simple debug library', i dunno

I think it's a play on "I scream", something a lot of us can associate with debugging.
Ah, thanks for pointing that out!
In addition, in the README they reference it like "ic(x)", which sounds like "I see x", and goes very well with the output that sounds like "I see x equals 5"
Bingo. This was the original intention.

"I see [X].", et cetera.
