Summary Web Inspector: Don't execute hovered functions while paused in Debugger

While paused in Debugger, hovering over selected code executes it in the current context. That would be fine in a functional language with no side-effects. JavaScript isn't such language. Imagine I want to copy "this._dropDatabase()". I select it using my mouse cursor. If I accidentally hover over it for a fraction of a second, it will execute it.

If the point of hovering is to show return values, could we ask JSC if it's effect-free ?
