    113113Completely decoupling `InspectorController.cpp` from the JS side will require converting the creation of JS objects on C++ side from property->object->constructor-based approach to more JSON-ey approach, where the objects don't have a specific prototype chain and look more like IPC messages. This in turn will require some refactoring of inspector's JS code to either create prototype-based objects at receiving point or adapt to using new style of messages. ''Perhaps that would make the inspector code a bit more slender and more JavaScript-ey anyway?''
