 Because it's module that manages that setting that provides the info, as
 with other modules (e.g. v.category).

 Then let us improve that :-)

 Just to be clear: this is not a -1 to your idea. I just want to make sure
 we think about it. In general, I'm wary of introducing the same
 functionality in two different modules. IMHO, it creates the risk of
 feature bloat and of confusion for the users.
