Maybe an option "Show complete SQL"? To switch between "complete"
(noisy) and default display (only what is necessary to create an
identical object with the current settings).

This would be a major wishlist item. Not complicated, but possibly many
lines of code.
What do you think of it? Should I create a ticket?
