Like -[theDamnExceptionBeingThrown description] ?  I suppose you have a point.  
But in a case like this, I'd be quite happy for Xcode to make that indulgence.  
As it stands, it is obtuse to put the onus on the user to figure out what 
register contains the exception (à propos to the current ABI) and then issue 
the call oneself.  Wouldn't it make more sense for Xcode to offer a "print the 
exception" checkbox in the breakpoint inspector?

I suppose I should file a bug against this (if I haven't already; I can't 
remember.)
