Description

When there is an if or pattern match it should highlight the taken path in yellow. When there is a boolean predicate it should highlight it in green/blue according to the result (perhaps, might not be necessary with the yellow color).

Note this isn't intended to be a HPC style "what got evaluated" in terms of lazy evaluation, more just which call path was taken.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the debug library's internals to understand how conditionals and pattern matches are represented, then add coloring based on the taken path.
