Vertex, edge and face icon next to the pointer when in Edit Mode

Hi,

I wanted to suggest to put an icon next to the pointer to understand what mode we are in, (vertex, edge or face). In thins way we don't have to look up in the left corner of the viewport.

Thanks

ATM apperance of mesh shows the mode. And it is more noticable than cursor. But yes, this tweak can be nice too. But what do you suggest for mixed modes? Esp. for 3 in 1?

* @ Vyacheslav * honestly the whole concept of mixed modes is alien to me. I have never found a use for it, and I've never seen anyone use it either.

* @testure * I use it sometimes, so I am asking. faces+edges is fast way to select more edges. Edges + vertices is easy way to select paths of connected vertices and some disconnected too.

yes, this also relates to the cursor improvement idea
