Global variables declared in a script are very hard to distinguish from built-in window properties in the Inspector's debugger.

I'm not sure the distinction makes sense when inspecting non-JSContext. Perhaps we could add a [N] native badge for native DOM constructors in global scope? I do agree that the "Global Variables" section is basically unusable.
