Breakpoints on method return statements

[Connell1]

While debugging in C#, I often find myself taking a method of the form:

string DoSomething(object val) { return SomeOtherMethod(val); }

and breaking it into multiple lines like:

string DoSomething(object val) { var result = SomeOtherMethod(val); return result; }

just so that I can set a breakpoint on the return and see the value. Would it be possible to make it so that on Debug builds, a breakpoint on a return statement would show the value that will be returned?

If you step onto the closing brace, you can see the return value in the Locals window, and you can also put $ReturnValue into the Watch window:

However, this doesn't seem to happen if you put a breakpoint explicitly on the closing brace: you have to step onto the closing brace.

You can also see the return value in the Locals window after the method has returned:
