[Bf-committers] A better way to display the Weight value in weight Paint mode ?

[Ronan Ducluzeau aka "zeauro"]

I think that the best place to show weight color of brush is probably 
brush circle, itself.

Do you think it is possible to have an overlay feature for that in 
Weight Paint mode ?
Weight Paint Mode is the only one to have no overlay feature.
Sculpt, Texture and Vertex Paint modes are sharing the same Overlay color.
