"Group by" indicator in column list

When using the New Formula Column option at the top of the data table to group by a categorical column, it would be helpful to use an icon to label a column that "grouping by" has been activated, similar to how columns are labeled as value colors/markers, formula, hidden, excluded, etc.

yes, that's really important!

 

The group by option is so helpful -

but also soooo dangerous

... when you forget one column with activated group by  - don't double check the formula again (otherwise wasting half of the speed benefit of the group by functionality :) - and don't notice te additional group by it in the column heading because it's just the "..." in Mean[Column A][Column B ...

So, thumbs up for this wish !!
