May be new feature?

[Leon Pollak]

Hello, all.
    I am not a great programmer in tcl/tk that's why I suggest this and
don't do.
    In CodeWarrier's debugger I noted very useful and interesting
feature - when one want to look at memory dump, he has the opportunity
to define the dump structure as it is done in watch window. That is,
CodeWarrier asks you about the type of the objects in your memory.
    This means that if you have, for example somewhere 'struct MyType
{.....', when you open memory dump window, you may choose to display
memory as of type MyType as well as of other types defined in your
program.
    What does the Insight community thinks about this?

Have you tried adding the expression:

* (MyType *) 0x0123456

to the watch window?
