Yes, I saw that option. I thought enabling may show far too many. 
I was having some structure that had a lot of fields. What I 
finally did was use a nested class and refactored my code to help 
reduce it. That allowed me to burry stuff that I don't want to 
see as often. It might then work well with that option.
