Does that have advantages of using a browser() line or two?  I find
them indispensable.


The error=utils::recover option will invoke a browser at the time of an error, so it's very helpful when you don't know where to put the browser() calls.

You should also consider using trace(), which inserts temporary browser() calls (or other code). The setBreakpoint() function constructs a call to trace() using source file information and is often an easier front end.
