So each watched expression is an ObjectPropertiesSection with the watched
expression as atitle and ObjectProxy value. Why doesn't it work? Try opening
console and typing "dir(document.documentElement)". You'll get
ObjectPropertySection formatted for the result. I'd like that code only to deal
with rendering objects that came from the inspected page.
InspectorController.getProperties should not be called anywhere else. Frontend
is only dealing with visual representation of stuff, it should only call it in
order to render the result and the renderer is already there.
