Yeah, the other ones to increase the sheet speed, I don't know off the top of my head.

Never works.

If I have a class, and I po an instance of that class, no ivars get printed out to the console until I write a descriptor method for the class.

po works fine to display the values in arrays and dicts, but not for custom classes.  And I never get them listed in the debugger either.
