Comment (by timgraham):
It seems `show_indexes` dates back to when the view was first added in
572ac3e7dfadec6434527ebbdccef97de1cc191c. I didn't see any mention in the
ticket about why this functionality was needed. I guess it makes it a bit
easier to debug if you have a typo in a file name or something (rather
than opening up a file browser). Collin, can you present your rationale
for deprecating it? No doubt some people like it and use it.
