It's useful, but it does involve a string change very close to RC :-( I
need to fight the urge to commit it and stick to the rules I'm afraid -
I say no, not for this release.

As soon as we branch though, let's commit it. I hope we'll rewrite most
of that tool so it may not survive (we've been talking about having a
hierarchical view instead), but we should get it in in case we don't get
that.
