[M3devel] Pretty-printing REFANYs?

[Darko]

You can use RTTipe to read the fields and values within a type. If you  
also want the type and field names you can interpret the .M3WEB file.  
I have a couple of modules that do something like that but they are  
not what you would call finished. What level of detail are you after?
