[Dx4win] "Antenna Beam Heading display"

I'm wondering if the DX4WIN developers have ever been asked to display on
the great circle map the bearing of the current beam heading with a
translucent bandwidth of +/- 25deg from the center of the beam heading (3ele
beam BW).

That way the operator could see at a glance if he/she had to move their
antenna to a DX spot of interest. 

So let say the beam heading is in a translucent yellow or some other color
that would allow map data to show through pretty well and the DX spot red
line would still bounce around on new DX spots and the OP wouldn't have to
do the math in the heat of the moment to see if his beam was close enough.

This adds "Antenna Beam Heading display" to already long list of features
for DX4WIN.

If this has already been suggested that's OK....
