Just a passing thought (that I'm sorry I don't have time to explore
myself right now) ...

I wonder if GT devs might experiment with streamlining
discover-ability of existing and creation of new extensions by being
able to right-click the tabs to get a menu....
*  Show Definition - which opens a browser on the right code
*  Create Custom Extension - which opens a dialog to create a new
package "MyGTExtensions" and/or select an existing package, specify an
identifier and choose a template  that is created and Browser opened.

The might help facilitate creating the extensions while in the "flow"
of developing.  At the moment I need to break context to go searching
for gtInspectorXX: examples to use as a template, take time
understanding each to choose which is applicable  (repetitively each
time I want to create an extension since they don't "stick" in my
head).   At times I feel a tension between taking the time to create
an extension and staying in the "flow" and I think such a facility
would reduce this friction.
