how about adding this to debuggers for better object-views? (could it be possible to provide near-js/python/java level of obj view?)

Thus is already using DWARF debug infos. Using this for debugging would be a long way around to arrive where you started

You can already script gdb to provide rich views of any data structure.

DWARF is a standard for data to support debuggers, so this crate does effectively the opposite: it uses info normally only available during debugging to provide reflection.
