Calculating edge length / Feature suggestion

Hopefully this is in the right place for this. (See picture) Just a feature that I thought would be useful when measuring for example an outer diameter of a curved car body etc. Also, suggestions on how to do this in some existing way are welcome, I just couldn't find anything online. So basically a text box that shows the total length of selected edges (could also be applied to angles).

I might add that MeasureIt. the addon, does this. It's not been added in 2.8 yet, but seeing as it's bundled with blender it should come with time.

This would be pretty east to do with Python.

Research BMesh and Modal operators, as well as maybe OpenGL drawing... it will require some patience.
