I think this is like a debugging thing. Emacs shouldn't be a platform
to debug the applications running in it. It should just run the
applications. :-)
As a user, I don't care, and I shouldn't care about what format the
application stores the information in. So even putting that option in
the prompt gives a bad User eXperience, in my opinion. It's just
confusing.
Displaying irrelevant info is almost as bad as not displaying info the
user needs. (Note "user", not "implementer". :-)
