_expand_field

takes up a huge amount of space for no reason. I think tuple scan be safely listed like arrays. We know they are tuples, no need to display _expand_field=, it just takes up a lot of space in the display for no reason, specially if there are several elements in the tuple.

This is the result of the compiler lowering the tuple to a number of variables __<varname>_field_<index>. No info is generated about this being a structure-like compound.

I have added support to the debugger to recombine these variables to an expandable array, but it wasn't actually trivial: https://github.com/rainers/mago/commit/451f856fd70a311460af1153ce1a1647059b5d89

It will be in the next release.

Rainer, you worth more money! Thank you for your relentless effort and support, it is highly appreciated, at least by me.
Thanks!
