Add Array Size(s) Indicator

Status: New

My idea is very simple - I'd like to see new size(s) indicator available for arrays, so user may know which dimensions his/her array has. The necessity partially arises from this thread. In that case the array looks visually empty but really contains some hidden row or column and there's no way to know about it except for calling Array Size instrument on it. Also it would be good for the developer to see the exact number of elements in the array on FP or BD.

I suggest this new context menu item:

Size(s) menu item

The indicator might look like a common LV indicator like this one:

Size(s) indicator

 

I know that its implementation adds one additional operation in IDE mode but I think it should be fast enough to work smoothly.
