Sorry -- I still haven't applied the patch, which would make it obvious what it does. That said, I'm confused about what you mean by "the  numbers I'm finished dealing with".

How does this compare with the existing  "hints" ( e.g. the "always show hint" option in the "View" menu)?

It occurs to me that if we do include this, we'll have to get more specific than "hints" for menu descriptions, etc.
