I'm not seeing it :-P

Well, not really documented, but I'd say to have (beside the user name) 
a different thing to indicate that this is the super user command line.

It's in red, has the "username@" missing, and has a "#" prefix instead 
of an "$". That's a very good indication already that it's a root shell.
