Bug 20255 - Simple Loop Labeling

[panagiotis merakos]

Hi all,

I personally like this idea, and I find it pretty useful. And this does not
sound too difficult to implement.

But I am not sure if everyone will like it, so if we do it, we should
probably add a pref to turn it on/off.

The good news is that Ali has been doing some work on scriptifying the
Prefs stack, so in the future it will be easier to add Prefs for such
features.

Best,
Panos
