You can't evaluate expressions in the context of the object with an 
explorer. You can use #instVarAt: and #instVarAt:put:, but that's tedious.

An object can hide its internals from the explorer (e.g.: Set/Dictionary).

Sometimes you don't care about other objects, just the one you're 
inspecting.
