Troubleshooting code with enhancement spots

So, I'm back to ABAP after 10 years in SAP management and quite happy of my move.

As expected, while I was away some things have changed(the worst I have seen so far: inline declaration.... what a terrible move, but that's another subject) but surprisingly, not that much!

One of the neat changes I have witnessed is the enhancements spot.

But after working a bit with it, there is something that I really don't get.

Since the custom code is now apart from the actual code, when you "version compare" to troubleshoot some issue, the custom changes don't show up in the comparison since they are not in the actual code anymore!!!

So, how are we supposed to be able to compare the code as a whole to be able to find a hidden bug?

Well, that's the whole point of enhancement framework that the enhancements are a separate object. Can you not access just the enhancement code and see the version history for it?

P.S. Inline declarations are OK. At first I also thought it was a dumbest idea ever but it saves tons of time because you don't have to figure out what type to use in declaration.
