This works for me:
myArray explore
myArray inspect

well, if you want auto-updating, you will need one of two things:
- somebody that polls the collection, or
- a collection that sends out events when it changes
The first is what the Inspector tool does
The second is what Etoys and Tweak do. Etoys does not have a
generic event-sending collection, but Tweak does: CCollection
A few things in squeak actually do send out notifications on
change, like the Class heiarchy, but not in a very generic way.
See SystemChangeNotifier and references to it
