What someone mentioned was a desire to see each tab's process
displaying the URL as an argument so they could see which process what
looking at what (and monitor the memory, CPU use, etc, of that
process).  What it actually does is something like this:

2467 chrome
2490 chrome
3186 chrome

Rather than this:

2467 chrome http://www.cnn.com/
2490 chrome http://www.digg.com/
3186 chrome http://www.goatse.cx/

The actual behavior may give away how many tabs you have open, but
says nothing about what you're looking at.  The second example can
lead to some embarrassment.
