# include_meta for debugging

 * I love the `display-posts` plugin. There’s one extra feature I sure wish it had
   though.
 * Yesterday, I spent a couple of difficult hours trying to debug a problem that
   ended up being a set of unexpected postmeta values. It would sure be nice if 
   you had an `include_meta` display parameter that would include the value specified
   by the `meta_key` parameter in the HTML. It would be useful for debugging.
 * Being able to see all the key values involved in my `orderby` (instead of having
   to click into each post to see one value at a time) would have been a big time-
   saver.
