I'll add my voice to this request; just today my codeveloper requested
exactly the same thing. I told him I'd ask on the list. :) He also had
the idea of adding a dropdown box with all types behind each property,
so you could convert the type using that (if that is possible to do),
but just displaying the type would help a lot in debugging.
