Setting to hide "Special Variables"

[Mark Greiner (mgreiner79)]

In the debug variables panel, one can see "special variables", "function variables" and "class variables". The special variables are very often not needed for debugging, and just clutter the panel. For example, every class I write myself, will automatically have special variables like __class__, __delattr__, __dict__, etc.. In fact the most basic python class has some 28 special variables that do not belong to the code I am writing. Similar to how "justMyCode" does not setting allows one to avoide stepping into code that the user cannot control, it would be nice to have a setting that hides the variables the the user cannot control. Yeah, sure sometimes the special variables are important to look into for debugging, but I find more often than not, they just create a lt of clutter, which is why I think it should be a setting one can turn on and off.
The Spyder IDE has something similar, where one can show/hide certin vairbal patterns, like thos in all-caps, or those starting and ending with "__", and it is quite handy and user friendly.

Pylance wouldn't be the one to control this. Transferring to debugpy.

Turning into a discussion item for up votes.

I believe this is already supported? See this issue:
#961

This is indeed already supported. Options -> Python -> Debugging, then select Hide on Special variables.

Err sorry, that's in PTVS in VS. But the config file should work for vscode.
