 In discussion with some teachers last week, we thought it could be very
 useful to be able to expose data regarding position and time of selected
 objects in a Physics (box2d) model. Either capture these data for display
 in another program, such as Simple Graph or Turtle Art, or allow them to
 be displayed, perhaps in a secondary toolbar. Especially in light of the
 ability to build more precision constructions with tools like Turtle Art,
 there is an opportunity to engage in more sophisticated modelling and
 simulation, which would be greatly enhanced if Physics would "show me the
 data".

 Have not yet looked at the code to determine where we would need to
 intervene.
