| Name: | inspect - inspect an object
|
| Synopsis: | any inspect -> -
any ? -> -
|
| Description: |
inspect (or ?) displays the contents of an object in a formatted form.
SLI procedures are displayed with indentation according to their
nesting level. The amount of indentation is controlled by the
value of :INDENTATION, which is defined in debugdir.
The most common usage is to apply inspect to a literal. Inspect
resolves the name in the current dictionary context and gives
a formatted output of the contents.
Numeric values are displayed with the letters (d) or (i) to indicate
the type of the numeral.
The display of arrays is truncated, if they are longer than the
value of :ARRAYLIMIT. the remaining entries are replaced by
an elipsis ( ... ).

/stack : proceduretype :=
{
0i
1i

{
-index-

-for-
}
SLI ] [10] Range inspect
[ 1i 2i 3i 4i 5i ... ]
SLI ] [1. 10.] Range inspect
[ 1d 2d 3d 4d 5d ... ]

| Bugs: |
The displays of TypeTrees and Procedures could be more elaborated.
Maybe the next version will show the individual parameter-lists of
a TypeTree.
