Configurable limit to array positions shown in debug

When you are using Debug Tool from RDz, it's often a problem when inspecting an program structure containing arrays. For instance when expanding the array (if the array is large enough) it will occupy the entire screen in the vertical direction.
This gives a back overview, if there also exists interesting structures after the array.

    would it be possible to make this general configurable instead of doing this per array variable?

    On any array or structure the user can select the range of elements to display by right click and in the popup menu choose the "Change Index Range...." menu action. Then in the resulting window set values for the First and Last index to display.
