Request for feedback for Proced's display and handling of process trees:

I played with a `*Proced Tree*' buffer and found it a bit confusing
to have two separate buffers. Also, I found it complicated to ensure
that this buffer is synchronized with the corresponding *Proced*
buffer. So instead I've added a tree column that can be toggled
(toggling is bound to T). Is the current approach useful?

Is the format of the tree column in the process listing clear?

Currently, there are two commands to operate on processes based on
the tree structure, proced-mark-parents and proced-mark-children
bound to P and C. Would it be useful to have more commands?

Any comments and suggestions for improvements are appreciated.
