Movement indicators missing, really annoying

I fired up 1.09n, and straight away ran into a pretty annoying lack of a feature. In pretty much all similar games, when you hold down (or press once) the movement button (right click), you get to see what path your group is going to take to reach the destination. Also, you get to see at least how far the group would reach this turn, and often you see how many turns it takes to reach the final destinations (at least in the Heroes of Might & Magic and Civilization series). In some games you get to see where the group would stop at each turn.

This is a marvelous feature in all those other games and I would strongly, very strongly hope that something along these lines was incorporated into Elemental. Right now it seems really weird that when I right click on something, my unit(s) just move towards that point without telling me anything beforehand. In my first game I have now moved my group five times by accident because of this.

Karma for an excellent suggestion.
