Less verbose scopes output

[simonmclean]

Problem Statement

I'm working on a Scala project, and the REPL output for .scopes is so verbose that it's practically unusable. Below are screenshots of the output as shown in nvim-dap vs IntelliJ (values redacted because work)

nvim-dap

(I know the screenshot is using nvim-dap-ui, but the result is basically the same with vanilla nvim-dap)

IntelliJ

As you can see, IntelliJ prints out much less in the way of type information. All that scala$collection$immutable$RedBlackTree$Tree$$ left RedBlackTree$Tree is essentially noise.

Possible Solutions

A config option added to nvim-dap, either:

• A boolean to toggle concise/verbose output, or
• A format function that the user provides to format/filter the output themselves

Considered Alternatives

No response

This is kinda tracked with: #737 and #1062

But part of this is also up to the debug adapter
