An use case that i can figure out is an user that connects in multiples  
instances in a lot of remote sites (like home-officer for example) and  
needs this information in the prompt to don't lost the context of your  
work. Is this valid? Is this and other similar cases quite enough to  
justify this patch? If yes I can change the patch to satisfy the Peter's  
suggestions, if no we can just ignore the patch and remove the item from  
TODO.

Thoughts?
