[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20081112-ptw-E Summary: Add a simple evaluator to the swf8/9 debugger

[P T Withington]

It's not meant to.  I'm just trying to handle the simple "path"  
expressions you might type into the debug evaluator in order to  
inspect your application.  I don't see any reason to need  
`canvas['subviews']` since the user can more easily say  
`canvas.subviews`.
