Worky here.  Just tried it.

Seriously, if you don't add it to the feature request list, it
_will_ get forgotten.  My memory queue is about seven deep and you
just fell off of it.  Ok, it's really about three deep, but I was
trying to sound smarter than I am.

I just fixed that recently.  Sorry about fixing it... ;-)

Again, put it on the RFE list.  That's actually a relatively easy
thing to add.  Just have to set a global variable (in a filter
struct) based on the state of a toggle, add that toggle to the
interface, then make a decision based on that toggle in the
draw_symbols routine or the routines that call it.
