I have changed my mind and now like your proposal. A regular inspector is
already and internal view of an object, so it shouldn't be different from the
debugger view. And making the inspector more informative by showing both the
internal view (instance variabls) and a common outer view (common derived
values like dictinary keys) helps you see the object better.

Cheers,
Anthony
