Class IdeInspectorComponent represents abstract component of inspector.

the component, to perform some actions. Any class can be used as a service.

This HashTable of services is the same as the table of

component, the services can perform certain actions. This class provides two actions:
set new service and get service.

The inspector can have any number of components.
