    Hi all,

    Begun migrating a project over to the new prefab worflow today. It's awesome so far, nice work Unity.

    Had a small suggestion: I've got prefab variants that go several levels deep, i.e. variants of variants of variants etc. I've noticed it would be really helpful if the prefab inspector showed the variant hierarchy. The inspector currently shows just one level (labelled 'Base'), so you need to click each one to move up the hierarchy one at a time.

    For example, something like this (please excuse the quick mockup lol):

    So here I can quickly see that this Really Fast Purple Monster prefab is an Enemy, and can select any Prefab Variant in the hierarchy to edit it.

    Anyways, just a small suggestion. :)

    Sweet, thanks. Good to know there is sufficient API to build this myself. :)
