Hey, that's great! I'd also been on the fence about the value of IELM
over the plain old *scratch* buffer, and that's a real advantage.

To muddy the waters further, there's also the "emacs inspector"[1] which
provides another way of looking at objects and symbols. It doesn't help
with the original query about watching values change during execution,
though.
