Follow-up Comment #4:

I see what you are looking for now.  This would definitely have to be an
optional feature.  The prefix '__' is just a convention we happen to use.  I
could imagine other coders use a different prefix and would want to be able to
specify the prefix.  Also, it is really bad to hide information from users
unless they are completeley aware that the hiding is being done and have
somehow acknowledged that they want it, such as a check box.

One thing that might be useful would be have an input line where user's could
enter the same sort of expression that is used with the 'who' command.  This
would then be applied to the Workspace listing.  This is the way that things
are handled in the CLI when you might have a huge number of variables, but
only want to see the variables that match a certain expression.

Something like 


who x* y* z*


shows only variables beginning with x, y, or z and ignores others variables,
such as 'ans', which aren't relevant.
