Yes, but rendering lots of little markers adds a speed penalty for what
just ends up as a grubby little antialiased dot when you're further
zoomed out. (So I'll leave the code to shut off its drawing at higher
zoom levels).

That's why I left it on when selected.. it does help line things up when
its not.

I guess it could change before the cairo stuff is pushed, or become (yet
another) config option. If it is turned into a config option, I'm going
to push for the default to hide the things.. for my money, it really
helps de-clutter the page.
