Description

Tang allows for rich introspection of the Configuration data. For example, one can ask "What objects will be instantiated in order to make an instance of Task?".

Right now, we don't make much use of these opportunities. We could provide a graph-visualization of a Configuration/ClassHierarchy pair that allows users to explore it in a visual manner, e.g. highlighting dangling configurations when clicking on a type to instantiate.

This JIRA shall be used to discuss and anchor work towards that goal.
