Use Whack Whack as target for console applications

It would be awesome if I could use this as a target for console apps. Current default VS behavior for debugging console apps is to launch a native windows console, execute the project, then close the console on program exit. It order to prevent closing the terminal and see the output of the program, you usually have to do something like set a breakpoint, use Console.ReadLine(), or run without debugging. Even with that, the launching of the console breaks you out of the IDE, hides the code you were just looking at with the launched console, and generally is disruptive to flow.

The desired functionality would be that when I either "Start Debugging" or "Start without Debugging" on a console project, the "Terminal Window" panel would gain focus and provide console interaction with the console app.

I do not currently believe it is possible to hook into the Debug routines in this way. I agree that this would be a great feature to have but I don't think its possible with the APIs that VS provides today.
