Variable hiding (was Initializing local properties)

Because they take up so much space in the debugger's variable tab. It would be nice to be able to hide certain variables, or at least rearrange them. Anyone think this is a good idea, to be able to see only the variables you want to while debugging? This in the actual tab. I know and love the
