It would make sense, and it would be possible.  There is even a Slurpy that
gets passed around to make it easier in principle to eventually implement,
but I haven't gone to the trouble of implementing it (and if you were to do
so, that would be great).  The problem is that you need to adjust the
Slurpy to be correct for the patch you're displaying.

Most of the work will be in SelectPatches.lhs, as I suppose you are aware.
While developing, I'd just make SelectPatches always display in unified
format, and only later add the flags.
