For those backends for which this may be possible, do you think it would be
better/easier to show three columns (Name, Size and Values)? [Now that I think
about it, should we add Type as well?]

Ideally the columns for Size and Values (and Type if considered) could be
enabled optionally.

I would very much like to have sizes (and maybe types) at sight to better
understand the data and code in mutual context, to ease debugging, etc. I don't
feel that (an incomplet) list of values are that important, at least for my
workflow.

Also, having a bunch of Values is a bit distracting, for instance column arrays
hide a lot of other variables in the workspace. 

[Side note: this behavior (how values are displayed) could also be changed. An
example of this could be how latest stable versions of Octave display values in
the workspace, and perhaps cantor could consider adding a specific variable
display panel similar to Octave's variable editor (although this would be a
more sophisticated/complicated add)]
