[xdebug-general] Re: Accessing private properties of object's ancestor using DBGp

Well,
in my opinion it is quite necessary. Lets say we have specific database
model class - which inherits after general database model - in most cases
the actual data is being stored in parent's class private property, and the
only way to access it is using __get / __set properties. Thus you won't be
able to see the loaded data of model using property_get, unless you do
var_dump which doesn't make any sense, as the idea of debugger is to avoid
var_dumping ...
It'd be very convenient to make this kind of preview working, otherwise in
many cases the debugger is completly unusable. This is not the opinion of
XDebug client developer, I'm rather saying it from my own experience - in
many cases I had to var_dump to see what data has been loaded to model /
controller, since XDebug shows empty variables...

In DBGp specs there is already show_hidden feature described ... what do you
think? :)
