Debug window customization

Hi.

I'd like to suggest a couple of features to be implemented in debug window. The idea is to treat SQL queries with parameters a bit differently. As for now when we have a query like the one below

select * from dual where 1=:P

The parameter P is going to be displayed at the very bottom of debug window in a form of

:P(INTEGER)=123

I see two problems related to this approach, both are about executing the query being debugged.
1. It's not possible to simply select all the text in a window (Ctrl+A doesn't work) and then execute it as parameters section obviously cannot be recognized as a valid SQL expression.
I suggest commenting the whole section with /* */.

2. When a query becomes really complex and contains a lot of parameters it gets hard to substitute them with actual values.
It would be nice to have ODAC to make in-place value substitutions like this:
select * from dual where 1=123/*:P*/
Personally I think this feature would be useful for everyone.

Looking forward for reply, thanks in advance.
