[REQUEST] Print out variable names (along with content) for console.log()

[StefanHeng]

Currently an icecream user - Came across this package - Love it!

One thing I like about icecream is that it's able to print out the name of the variable I'm logging. This makes debugging easier.

I've attached a screenshot comparing the debugging/logging of the same variable(s) below:

This is produced by:

            from icecream import ic
            from rich.console import Console
            console = Console()

            test_data = [{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "sum", "params": [None, 1, 2, 4, False, True], "id": "1", },
                {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "notify_hello", "params": [7]},
                {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "subtract", "params": [42, 23], "id": "2"}, ]

            console.log(test_data)
            ic(test_data)

            txt, num = 'hello world', 42
            console.log(txt, num)
            ic(txt, num)

Note the text_data, txt, num are also printed.

I like that rich provides better styling - but I wish the variable names gets printed too. This will make more convenient debugging - as I don't have to type the variable name again.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think this feature is currently supported.

Hopefully this feature can be easily implemented given that rich already have access to relevant variable names via log_locals (example below):
