EGL debugger: improvement for variable content tracking

Version 7.0.1 adds a "find facility" to the variables view in debug mode. But retrieving the content of a variable still is not comfortable for the developer.
He still needs the fully qualified variable name to get the desired information. Programs typically use some twenty different records.
If you have to maintain a program that you haven't developed yourself it may be laborious follow the values accessed variables.
