For what it's worth, I had the same reaction. I didn't get it until I
read the code and stared at the little "-+-" strings...
To be honest, I'm not sure that proced-refine is a very helpful

display to processes with lesser pids? Why? Why not greater pids?
It seems like its behavior was driven more by the idea for its
implementation than vice versa.
