fake "comments" and max of aggregate?



A couple of things:
One, I noticed (as has been said before) that comments in conf files
get blitzed out by the editor, as it reads and and rewrites the file.
You can sorta fool it by doing a SET NOTE1 <blah> in front of a line,
which will cause a parameter which nothing uses to get set, but the
editor will leave it.

Is there an easy way (besides writing your own plugin, phooey) to do
an aggregate target, which instead of showing the "average" shows
instead only the highest of  all the links?  We have situations where
Nx parallel paths should be all more or less equal, but sometimes
something might happen to cause one to take a lot more traffic to the
point of maxxing out.  With the average it's not easy to see this, but
a max of all the targets ahould show it well (and for the case where
you do the average over multiple links, the max should also  be
somewhat close to the average if they are all balanced equally)
