My understanding of the term 'inspector' does not refer to an  
application, but rather to a panel within an application, which lets  
you look at some information and (usually) change it.  Because the  
things being inspected vary wildly, the contents of an inspector  
generally vary a lot, and about the only thing co0mmon to all  
inspectors is that they reside in panels ... for which we have the  
NSPanel object.

Maybe you could describe what you think a generic inspector should do?
