Description

needs repro

Hi there!

Our extension leverages the evaluateName DAP property to allow users to view and interact with nested variables through evaluate expressions while debugging. This works well when accessing top-level and nested data for simple lists, dictionary and class objects, but I've noticed some cases where this property is missing, e.g., the following:

Pandas DataFrame columns (nested Pandas Series)
Nested NumPy arrays
When an Enum appears as a child of another variable, such as a dictionary. (I suppose there may be challenges where the enum import may be out of scope if for example the parent variable was imported from a module and similar such cases.) - this was observed in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-data-wrangler/issues/285

Is there more general information/documentation on what scenarios this property is or isn't supported (due to technical limitations or other reasons?)

I did also see https://github.com/microsoft/debugpy/issues/1439, but it wasn't clear to me if these were necessarily related to support for the evaluateName property.

Thanks!
