I agree that clutter is bad.  I had the same reservation, but I am also
working with models and sharing information with people where a tree
that has a _bit_ more information would be useful.

I agree that showing this by default will be messy in some cases.  And
maybe this has moved to a question more for you, Martin, in pyang's
GitHub channel.  But if this output were put behind an option, would you
entertain a PR?
