    Debug variable watch class
    @author : Eiyeron Fulmincendii

    A Flixel-like watch class to be able to track down variables and check them in real time.
    Add a variable to watch over like this:
        debug_overlay.watch:add(my_object, "name of object member")

    Note that if the member is destroyed or unreadable, the variable will be automatically removed.
