Description:


an application for a multitab inspector
extendible by the inspected object itself, by providing additional
tabs via the inspector2XXX methods

Interface for objects:
    redefine 
        inspectorExtraAttributes (to get additional pseudo-attributes into the left field list)
        inspectorExtraTabs (to get additional tabs into the tab list)
        inspectorExtraMenuOperations(to get additional operations menu items into the operations menu)
    
the operations menu is invisible, if there are no operations.

this is sent after an interface is built from a spec,
but only iff the appModel is not the same as the topView's app
(i.e. if it is not a build for the same appModel again).
In that case, postBuildAsSubcanvasWith is invoked.
Can be redefined in subclasses for additional setup after
the view has been built, but not yet opened.
