expression evaluation while debugging

Hey,

While I am debugging my typescript code, I want to evaluate some expression for example this one: data?.values?.id. 

And then I get a nice error on the evaluate console: SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

I think this is because it is a typescript syntax and not node valid syntax while the debug configuration is using node as an interpreter with this option --require ts-node/register to be able to transpile and run the test. Is there any solution for this ?

Thank you.
