Ack! don't make non-UI threads write to the Transcript!! Figure out
some other way to display things...

The Transcript is not thread-safe, for one thing; for another, you
make the UI run every time you send stuff to the Transcript (at least
when you do an endEntry).

Best bet is to just put debugging info into a collection. Make a
circular queue, perhaps, so that it doesn't grow infinitely large.

You can inspect the collection from an Inspector.
