 Inspired by Laravel, I was wondering, if it was ever considered to add a
 comparable function like dd()  (die dump) to WordPress as well.

 The function accepts a parameter that can be a mix of types (string,
 object, array etc.) and prints it out in a readable fashion.

 I think that it would be a handy function for developers who are
 debugging. Could be named wp_dd() perhaps.

 I would consider contributing it to core myself (have no prior experience
 with that), but maybe it was already discussed before and decided against
 the idea.
