Thanks Pawel!

May I suggest that as soon as someone starts working on a bug, they assign it themselves.
That way we don't collide.  Two of the bugs Pawel can do were 'claimed' by John and myself.
Personnaly, I'll leave mine to Pawel, and take a different one.

I've really enjoyed following this discussion and seeing the enthusiasm
around DSF and TCF out there.  There is a few issues that I've been
meaning to get to ever since we introduced DSF.  I'll do my best to get
them in for Helios:

http://bugs.eclipse.org/207582 [variables][expressions][cdi] In views, chirldren of arrays should be grouped when more than 100
http://bugs.eclipse.org/219040 [variables][cdi] Variables view should show globals (or should it?)
http://bugs.eclipse.org/269101 [variables][cdi] In no-columns mode, it's impossible to change the a variable's value.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/219203 [variables][cdi] Variables view should allow variables to be cast to a type.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/219202 [variables][cdi] Variables view should use icons to represent types.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/248627 [debug view] [cdi] Add an option to show full paths for the stack frame source location.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/159958 [symbols][cdi] Integrate symbols service with CDT modules view.


Cheers,
Pawel
