We should probably enable experiments in WebKit nightly (i.e. Experiments tab 
will be enabled in WebKit Web Inspector's settings at all times). I can do that 
for you or r+ such a patch.

The process of adding features into WebKit Web Inspector is very lightweight. 
When you think the feature is ready for the prime time, make a patch moving it 
out of experimental. We will review it and suggest if something is missing.
