Perhaps we can look at the problem from the other end -- what
distinctions do the GUIs care about?  Then we can put this into MI and
even down into the Python API if needed.

Offhand I'd say that I'm not very concerned with not showing the
difference between these two.  For example, the GUI could display the
type.

I'm happy to implement something more featureful, though.
I'll brainstorm & play around with it a bit ... unless anybody else
has ideas ready to go.
