I've been playing around with your enhanced display. This has addon written all over it. I was surprised to see that when you use it to generate a display in JHS the display retains a lot of information about the contents of boxed structures.
Mousing and hovering over the array display describes the contents in a direct and simple manner. Of course all this is retained in the JHS page which underscores the potential of JHS to show us a lot more.
