Re: libseed-list js-level reflection of "system" objects

["Alan Knowles" <alan akbkhome com>]

There is not much in the way of hidden 'built-in' properties. Seed's really just Webkit's JS engine with about 4 extensions, and gobject introspection. 

AFAIK the base Javascript does not have any 'hidden' properties. However, the introspected bindings do have quite a bit of hidden information, which can often cause problems when introspected using 'for (i in object) {...}'

You can use the GIRepository bindings to query all of that 

For console.dump() - which is close to console.dir - This is pretty basic implementation.
http://git.akbkhome.com/?p=app.Builder.js;a=blob;f=console.js

usage is pretty simple
console = imports.console;
console.dump(yourobject)

Alan
