 Definitely a low priority task, however I feel that including a `dd()`
 function in Core would be great for debugging quickly and efficiently. I
 find myself needing to use this but not wanting to including it in every
 bit of work I do as it's pointless to have it for individual projects.

 `dd` stands for `dump and die`. The PHP framework, Laravel has this
 function built in which accepts one parameter of a variable, will call
 `var_dump()` with the variable and immediately call `die()` to stop script
 execution.

 Can this be added as it's a small and simple function that is very handy
 to have for testing.
