Actually, I really would like the workspace view to be more like the
output of the whos command. Instead of a tree, a table, with variable
names and class (double, single, etc), a mark indicating whether it's
global, and a preview of the value of the variable (for instance,
for matrix data).

I think hidden variables should be hidden by default :), and the user
could choose in the settings whether to show hidden variables in the
workspace.

Just a suggestion.
