Large lists in locals/watch windows can hang #4204

import 'dart:typed_data';
void main() {
Uint8List inputBytes = Uint8List.fromList(List.filled(100000000, 0));
print(''); // Breakpoint here
}We send a getObject() request but there's no offset/length s presumably it's trying to send the entire list back which is huge. It's possible being a Uint8List complicates things, but a normal List (List.filled(100000000, 0)) has issues too.

For Uint8List the kind is Uint8List but it still has a length, and the kinds that provide lists are documented in https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/master/runtime/vm/service/service.md#instance (string, map, and various lists).
