The hovering behavior does use the uniques though, so that's what I usually use to disambiguate the variables. It would be easy enough to show the numbers if people would like that. I am sure that there are many other things that can be improved---if you have ideas / suggestions, please file an issue on github.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>-Iavor</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 12, 2017 at 1:23 PM, Simon Peyton Jones <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:simonpj@microsoft.com" target="_blank">simonpj@microsoft.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
