This is a very cool feature.  I haven't looked closely at this but can't
this mechanism work the same as the other show-mode toggles, like crypto
or indenting?  I wouldn't think it would require any more extra variable
stuff than what is used for those other toggles.

Also, the *really* sweet thing would be if the toggle actually cycled
through display of the alternatives, only displaying one at a time.
That would be very swank.

David Edmondson put together the other show-mode toggling stuff, so he
may be able to help with this as well.

jamie.
