Update: If you *haven't* filed in the Colonless syntax framework, I'm
thinking SyntaxMorph should work fine. Certianly the browsing. If you
have, browsing is easy enough to fix (involves changing
ParseNode>>addCommentToMorph: to use a DialectStream, email for fix if you
don't want to figure it out; or if you want neither to fix it yourself,
nor get a fix from me, just don't browse methods with comments ;)).

The DebugSyntaxMorph doesn't (yet) work with the syntax framework, and
I have no idea, but no reason to think not, if it works in vanilla
2.8. It should! (Whaaa! I want to play with it!) From the comment in
SyntaxMorph:

2. In the when used in the debugger, balloon text is used to show the
value of variables as the cursor passes over them. There are also
additions to the popup menus to inspect or explore these values.

Whoa! That's *very* cool folks!

Unless Bob beat's me to it, maybe I get it working with the alt
syntax. Then we can begin to send shivers of horror up Andrew's spine :)

Cheers,
