digitalmars.D.debugger - Visual D debugger tuple _expand_field

_expand_field

takes up a huge amount of space for no reason. I think tuple scan 
be safely listed like arrays. We know they are tuples, no need to 
display _expand_field=, it just takes up a lot of space in the 
display for no reason, specially if there are several elements in 
the tuple.

This is the result of the compiler lowering the tuple to a number of
variables __<varname>_field_<index>. No info is generated about this
being a structure-like compound.

I have added support to the debugger to recombine these variables to an
expandable array, but it wasn't actually trivial:

It will be in the next release.

Rainer, you worth more money! Thank you for your relentless 
effort and support, it is highly appreciated, at least by me.
Thanks!
