For what it's worth, I had the same reaction.  I didn't get it until I
read the code and stared at the little "-+-" strings...

To be honest, I'm not sure that proced-refine is a very helpful
command as designed.  For example: clicking on a pid restricts the
display to processes with lesser pids?  Why?  Why not greater pids?
It seems like its behavior was driven more by the idea for its
implementation than vice versa.
