Well, that's not exactly true. It doesn't do that for a particular position, but
rather will try to summarize why it thinks the engine's PV improves upon the
current position.

Johan and I, for CMX000, discussed breaking down all of the various numbers that
go into an evaluation and displaying them in the post-game analysis, but that
never got implemented.
