Comment (by Clorith):

 I agree, we need to have some better support here, I'm curious what would
 be the preferred way of doing that though.

 What would make the most sense, there's two instant thoughts that come to
 mind, as I see it:

 1. If it's non-scalar (a quick `is_scalar` check), "dump" it using JSON
 encoding, PHP serialization, or the "prettier" option of a `pre` wrapped
 `print_r`.
 2. If it's an array, allow for nested loops.

 Option 2 means we need to perhaps be a bit strict on what is allowed to be
 included, so you can only go X tiers deep at max, to keep it legible.

 Option 1 is the one I'm leaning towards, although it may not _always_ look
 as pretty to the naked eye, it does mean those adding information to the
 debug section can include "anything" they feel is relevant. It would also
 allow for any non-scalar value to be output (for that weird edge case
 where someone has decided to make the data an object instead of an array,
 unlikely, but if they want to quickly push the data into some tool on
 their end from the debug output, that would likely make this easier if for
 example JSON encoding were used?)
