Usage
Invocation
M-x inspect-expression to evaluate an elisp expression and inspect the result.
M-x inspect-last-sexp to evaluate last sexp in current buffer and inspect the
result.
Inside the inspector
M-x inspector-pop bound to letter l, to navigate to previous object.
M-x inspector-quit bound to letter q, to exit the inspector.
Also, M-x forward-button and M-x backward-button are conveniently bound to n

elisp expression using the object currently being inspected (it is bound to *).
