Ok, well let me comment about a few usablity issues. Explorer is a heavy weight inspection book, you have it, inspect and don't forget basicInspect.
When working with objects that are subclassed off of ProtoObject like the objective-c class I ended up with dragging lots of methods from Object into the subclass to support Explore. Lastly when dealing with complex objects with twisty interconnects, like in a Sophie book structure Explorer would cheerfully be helpful and run off to visual show lots of things likely forever... requiring a cmd-interrupt to seize back control. Ensuring there is a way to do basic inspect would be helpful in rare cases then.
