It would probably be nice to have some documentation on this stuff, if it's not
already documented somewhere.

My concerns aren't related to the Watch Expressions support - it's more of a
generic concern regarding not having an API to get the properties of an object
in the target window.  I don't have a need for such a an API at the moment
(assuming I can get the ObjectPropertiesSection flavored version of Watch
Expressions to work), just thinking generically.
