Good point. The reason that kept me sticking to the option, somewhat,
is that we have the same widget in <varselector>s (the "data picker
source"). Here, it makes a lot of sense to list only .GlobalEnv by
default: Vertical space is considerably more limited, and picking an
object from .GobalEnv is what you would do, probably 99.9% of the time.
For that one odd in a thousand, where you are actively looking to use
an object, e.g. from "package:datasets", there should be a way to get
to the full list. This is currently in the context menu, and that in
again is shared between workspace tool window and <varselector>.

Well, this should be solvable, somehow. Also, the context menu could
use a bit of cleaning up, too, I guess...
