Since I've never been able to make 'chase pointers' work (not knowing 
that it only worked on self) I don't know exactly what it does, but I 
imagine it's something along the lines of Avi's PointerExplorer. 
Perhaps it would be better to drop the 'chase pointers' feature and look 
at including something built from PointerExplorer (I know it still has a 
few issues) instead?  It has the advantage of only opening one level at 
a time so it doesn't infinitely recurse.

Actually, reading Andreas' comment again, maybe recursion wasn't the 
problem he was referring to?  Anyway, something to consider perhaps.

But if nothing else, it seems like it would be nice to make 'chase 
pointers' not show up for anything except self.
