Ok - I figured there would be a way of colour-coding or otherwise 
visually showing that the resource isn't called "root".

I still don't understand the usecase for this. I hate having "cool" 
features that don't have a use-case. And this seems like one of them. 
This is what I expect to be in a config file and I don't expect to 
change it often.

Can we try and fix all the small stuff quickly and then I will raise 
JIRAs for anything we don't get fixed straight away.
