Description

The `inspectVariables` request and the variable explorer panel in the debugger seems to display functions with a leading underscore.

Here's a simple repro

```
def _abc():
return "Hello"

def abc():
return "Hello"
```

In the above code snippet, `_abc` will appear in the "Variables" panel whereas `abc` will not, as demonstrated below
