Doug,

Right.  The update removes the "basic inspect" and "smart inspect" 
items from the ObjectExplorer's menu.

I initially added the new "inspect element..." item (when 
appropriate) to the ObjectExplorer's menu, in place of the two 
deleted item, but I noticed the same thing you you did: that if you 
want to look at the contents of a one-element collection in the 
Explorer, you're just one click away, so it seemed there was no real 
benefit to adding "inspect element..." there, so I took it out.
