Data Storage Locations Displayed on Input Panels

This request probably reflects my ignorance of technical issues, but it's offered in the event that it might possibly have merit.  You will know better than I.

Would it be possible to display the standard location path and file name of each of the data fields in the  various Admin panels?  Perhaps display the information in italics beside or below each entry panel and maybe a text string to use in a search to locate the data.

Rationale:  Provide information that would otherwise generate questions on the forum . . .  questions which, no doubt, arise repeatedly.  This would allow users who are proficient at editing files directly with the means to correct errors without having to rebuild and reload files.  A possible objection is that the information might lead inexpert users (like me  :P, right?) to cause themselves grief; however this could be overcome by making this and option when executing install.php - which is an EXCELLENT design implementation, BTW.

Sorry, but I seem to be on a Mod Request jag tonight.

TIA

All information that you enter in the admin center is stored in the database, with the exception of the information on the Server Settings page, which is stored in Settings.php. Most of the options are in the settings table.
