Personally, I like the idea of the pause, but only if the "period of
time" is short... like 500 ms.  That way someone can do really quick
stepping if they want, and then slow down and see the values change
per step if they want.  Re-selecting the variable would be much too
cumbersome -- especially if you're stepping specifically to watch the
value of a variable change.
