Is it possible to hide methods from the debugger.

in .NET there is a [DebuggerHidden] attribute that can be applied to  
methods so that the debugger just ignores that method and let the user  
continue debugging in any method invoked by the hidden method.

In my case I simply want to hide some lookups that is of no use for the  
debugee.
