How is the Red Pill from Matrix a magical debug value? I didn't notice anything like it on the wiki page.

It creates a signal in Neo designed to be picked up at a lower layer of abstraction, like using 0xDEADBEEF as a value so you can spot it in a hex editor.

Ah, ok. I got the impression there was something clever about it being a red pill specifically.
