The dart:developer library has an inspect(Object object) method with the following description:

Send a reference to object to any attached debuggers.
Debuggers may open an inspector on the object. Returns the argument.

Dart Code currently doesn't do anything when inspect is called, so I was wondering if adding support for it has ever been considered. Here's how I would imagine this feature to work:

• Dart Code detects that inspect was called.
• The matching value inside of the "Variables" panel is resolved.
• The "Variables" panel is expanded and the resolved value is highlighted.

Is this doable? If it is, I'd be happy to make a pull request. I might need a little heads up on where to start though.
