No, there is currently no way to programmatically get a $n in the Console, which is effectively what this is trying to do. We would have to add something to the protocol, console, or somehow detect awaited results and act on them.

I think we can use:

    console.info("%o", value);

And get pretty good behavior here. Certainly good enough for the common case.
