Trace or Watch Values of Variable

Is there a way for me to "trace" or "echo" the value of a variable as an expression is running. I don't even know what this would be called, so searching has been difficult. I came across a post here that mentions alert(text:String), but I think it only works in scripts and not in expressions.

TIA,
Robby

You can ususally just apply the expression to the source text property of a text layer and then just add the variable name at the end of the expression so it's the last thing that gets executed.
