What are the characters that appear under a value entered into the Chrome console?

When I paste a value into the Chrome console, Chrome adds a line below with a negative number.

enter image description here

At first I thought it related to the value, which exists in the document. However, as I back out each character the value underneath changes and then disappears. If I replace the later characters the value changes incrementally.

enter image description here

There's no tooltip or context menu on the line.

What the heck is that?

It's called Eager Evaluation, new in Chrome 68.
