The schedule is just a Map of Action objects, so you can open
your own index on it and print anything you want of its member
objects.  There's a function xfprint(aCollection) which prints
a short debug description of each member to stderr (currently, just hex
address plus class) that would work here, but if you want anything more
descriptive (including time value keys) you'll have to print yourself.
Keep in mind that if there's more than one action scheduled at the same
time value, a list of actions at the time value is created and that's
what's contained in the schedule.

We're very interested in tools like these that will help in understanding
and debugging user schedules.  Let us know what you would find most useful
for such tools.
