http://code.google.com/p/chromedevtools/ - this is the one I am talking about.

> Example things that we need that WebInspector API provide us with are:
>  - access to page's scripts information (on request)
>  - current stack frame and backtrace information
>  - interface for evaluating expressions
>  - modification of a single breakpoint (enable/disable, skips, condition)

Given that Web Inspector is working over Web Inspector protocol, it surely covers these and much more.

> These above things are not available currently or obtaining this information is complicated (in particular, usually needs caching particular information - they can be only caught by events, but not accessed when there is a need to obtain them).

We will need to fix these one by one, in fact I am eager to get an example.

> Can you explain me this "Web Inspector way"?
