Our debugging experience is leaving me very unimpressed. So, having modified my program enough to have a breakpoint I can then inspect the library (because we don't have any way of just seeing all the things that are in scope, so I can't evaluate, say searchIndex.map.containsKey(link.text) because there's nothing that can see both link and searchIndex).

If I type searchIndex.map then the editor freezes for 1 minute while it creates the huge toString. I'd really like to have more control over whether and by how much these things are truncated. So it's too big, and I'd like to reduce it, so I want to evaluate
   searchIndex.map.keys.where((x) => x.startsWith("unittest"))
and it tells me it's a syntax error.
