No, because what happens if the array has one million elements?

What to be done is making a little form that show array contents by asking the 
value of each array element to the debugger on demand. For example, by using 
a tableview. It is a bit slower than getting the array contents in one shot, 
but it will work whatever the size of the array.

Then the same thing can be done for Collections, and for any object written in 
Gambas by using a special debugger command that prints all field names of an 
object.

If you don't want to do that, no problem. I will do, but not now...
