Structures are not supported by VarProbe.  However, you can make an
object called Point, and then create a ProbeDisplay for that.

MultiVarProbeDisplay will display of a list of objects, but the
object components have to conform to the same ProbeMap.

Of course, generically typed `id' instance variables can contain any
instances of any class, but you'll only see the reference widget to
click on, not the expansion of the variables.  If you want that,
you'll have to compose the widgets you want one by one inside a Canvas.
