Interrogate objects - why are you displaying like this?

For easier troubleshooting, is it possible to select an object, and then get a report on all the factors that are currently affecting its display? (and the hierarchy of those factors)
eg. "This object currently has
- a pen setting which says it should be green,

...but that is overridden by...

- a custom storey setting in your floor plan display,

...but that, too is ignored, because there's....

- a "Model view setting" override which says it should be blue

...which in turn is trumped by...

- a renovation status which says it should be red...

....and your attempted changes aren't working because...

- the layer is locked, doofus.

(well, perhaps not that last one, but you get the point)

I mention it because I've been spending the last 10 minutes trying to work out why the surface shading of a slab isn't showing in my plan.
It shouldn't take me 10 minutes to do that!!
