others have suggested this. better than a suggestion would be a patch for us 
to try out, because it's really hard to know how this would feel without 
actually trying it out in action.it doesn't even have to be a pretty patch, 
just one that allows us to get a feel for the idea in practice.

personally, i'm concerned it will, like many chimeras, feel awkward: the head 
of one animal and the body of the other.

but a patch would settle that once and for all.

perhaps further improving the breadcrumbs in that page would also help.
