Already happens.  Nobody seems to agree how to display mate scores.  Never have.
never will.  Which means the GUI has to clean it up _anyway_...

I wrecked a lot of things when I first started displaying all scores as +=good
for white.  But I did it not to wreck everyone's GUI.  I did it because I
thought it made more sense and was easier to read.  For me, it is now the
_only_ way to display output...
