We do; I don't know about anyone else.  The problem is we can't really know 
who all else has an implementation that lets you choose.  Retroactively 
fixing published APIs rarely works well.  I'd much rather use choose_display 
and avoid the problem altogether.

Besides adding the display/N schema, I thought of one other thing to add that 
might be cool, but I totally can't remember it right now so it must not have 
been that special.  I think it's basically done.
