With this turned on, yes.

Yes there's an option to disable it.

Yes, that's my doubt.
The point here is to expose this to new users. So if it won't be ON by
default, I'd rather not even merge (it would just increase code
complexity and make it harder for us to take another direction on this
later).

But then, I'm not sure it's useful and non-distracting enough to
warrant being on by default.
I'm currently using it locally to get a feel for it and I hope other
people will too.
Maybe I should just add this to master with the message that it may
well be reverted before release.
