Re: [cdt-dev] globals in variables view

[subs <dmsubs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My users find it important to add all variables to the variables view. Having to 
switch between 2 views to see all your variables is very inconvenient. #3 sounds 
like a good idea.

Also, there is a related bug I reported a while ago - 212157, inability to add 
module local variables to the variables view.
