highlighting child with more than one parent #307

Open bijang opened 4 years ago

would it be reasonable to consider adding an indicator that an entry is shared among different parents, eg with a change of colour to the entry, so it's easier to spot the shared parents and commonalities between different parents eg when looking at tree overview. This kind of highlighting might be a helpful way to spot these links, in lieu of actual lines between them which the graphical brain program would provide. Further more would it be sensible to add a number in brackets, representative of the number of parent connections, when they are not visible on the current view mode, or would that be unnecessary?

Perhaps it would be useful for some. I myself am colour blind so I typically don't rely on colours to give me an overview of things. I also haven't used font-locking very much in Emacs so it would probably take quite some research if I were to implement it.

What would the purposes be of seeing the number of parent connections of an entry?
