Note: The purpose of this patch is to help visualizing and reaching a decision. It’s getting complicated to maintain so many options in such hasty code. I don’t think I can keep iterating much more.
Also Note: The decorator bullets are misaligned in the version with the labels on top and I did not actually implement the transition from one to the other.
