Why can't I declare new variables in the immediate window?

.net, debugging, visual-studio

Solution

Do not use Dim

jack = 12
? jack
12 {Integer}

Problem

This could save me so much time. Sometimes I find myself writing things like this in the watch or immediate window: ``` MyObject.Function1.Fuction2.Fuction3.Fuction2 ``` Instead I could just declare several new variables and do this in a more structured way. However doing this is not allowed. Is there some way that i can do this? Is there going to be support for what I want in any future versions?
