Is it possible to view the size of a multidimensional array in the Workspace?

I have a variable that holds an array that is 4-Dimensional or higher in the Workspace.

If I look under the field "Value" in the MATLAB Workspace Browser, "4-D double" is displayed. If I mouse-over the variable in the MATLAB Editor while in debug mode, the popup data tip displays "4-D double".

I would like to be able to see the fully specified size of this array in the Workspace. I would like the information to include the length of each dimension of the array.

In the same spirit, I would also like to be able to see the length of each dimension of the array in the popup data tip when I scroll the mouse over the variable in the MATLAB Editor in debug mode.

The ability to display the complete size of multidimensional arrays with more than 3 dimensions in the Workspace is not available in MATLAB without using a function.

As a workaround, it is possible to execute the SIZE function in the Command Window of MATLAB to get the size of the variable as follows:

>> a=rand(2,3,4,5);

>> size(a)

Moreover, the function WHOS provides the same information in the field "Size":

>> whos a
