Explorers in Debuggers

Hi, there.

Please find attached a "brain fart". :-) Please comment on whether this could be a preference-based modification to the debugger. It would not entail much change. See the attached change set. Yet, the current way via inspectors should be the default one because ObjectExplorers have more side effects when browsing the object structure...

Best,

Marcel

Because of the side-effects I'd think even a preference is too dangerous. But there could be a little toggle maybe that gets you to the explorer view with one click?

I've done something similar:

- all variables in a single pane to the right

- individual variables are highlighted when their value changes. Useful when stepping through code.

- simple click on a variable gets menu with explore, inspect and other useful options
