'Mouse hover' over an item in the session could also display attributes.

Dyalog APL does this for QuickView of APL objects (shows the actual data).

This way it the user can 'quickly query/view' the attributes (not just the last).

Rather than tacking more stuff onto the session output
window, perhaps there could be a "information on the
last result" window.  It would display things like:

- noun/verb/adverb/conjunction
- if noun,
 - the internal type
 - rank
 - shape
 - # elements (*/shape)
- ": representation as well as linear, boxed, etc.
- number of bytes
etc.
