        Indeed... but the helptexts can be out of date, or just plain
misleading, or you can forget what they say... and sometimes it can be
tricky to figure out where all of your city's gold production (for example)
comes from, particularly if your government or nation type also has an
effect. I'm thinking of something similar to the existing happiness display,
which makes it quite clear when you have active happiness Wonders, even
if they're in other cities.

        Ah. This sounds more difficult, so I'm not going to volunteer for
it right now. ;) Sounds like this is something that AIs and agents would
have to do anyway though, so presumably lots of code could be shared...
