My concern would be that once you decide you want one arbitrary var in "show
channels" it may open the flood gates.
The downside to constantly polling for results is you have to check all the
time.  If you monitored events yourself in a dedicated process you could be
informed exactly when something changes and the events on channels have
*all* the variables in them for that channel.

I am not rejecting the patch, I am just trying to point out alternatives
because I am worried about the arbitrary value becoming a permanent column
in a core functionality.

btw,

you can also do

show channels as csv
show channels as xml
