Actually they are - well at least for the variables variable set during
LAYOUT.
See the VAR facet for a given face. It will record the variable name
(set-word! used during layout) if one exists for a face. There is a known
problem for PANEL style though.
view layout [ myface: button [print face/var] ]
How useful this is, I'm not sure.
In terms of getting the structure of it, it is necessary as Gregg says, to
iterate through it.
