Why would you want to see the bottom one?  I still don't understand.

And I do not mean this as a rhetorical question. I am here to learn and I would like to make sure that I do not make a suggestion based on wrong understanding of what the user wants to see.

I probably am lacking imagination to think of a good use scenario that showing the bottom one would be useful to the user, and you as the author of this patch must thought about what the user want much more than me.
