Description:
While reporting an issue with the style inspector I accidentally used style
explorer. Which made me think a bit. From user perspective is more an
instrument for explorer the used styles. So style explorer or maybe styles
examiner. The latter might translate better. 
Of course you're inspecting styles; but an Inspector maybe have some kind of
negative connotation. Prüfer (DE) Kontrolleure (DE) are the most loved people;
people who always complain about something not being right. Of course maybe my
personal (slightly exaggerated) feeling; the context can make it more
acceptable. 

Related to translations, has 'style inspector' checked by the translation
department? To get something which translates well in most/all languages. There
are number of cases where they translations end up being creepily awkward.
Skia/Raster being Skia/Rooster (Dutch) for example

I would prefer to check with translation in advance (or see what they come up
with).
