You're probably right there.
Well, I think that if numbers-always-over-all-hatches gets implemented as well as everything else, I'd definitely want to see availability of options in the player to turn such features off.
I don't even think it would make the F3 screen that much bigger, either.
N.B. This image is a modified screenshot of the current F3 menu, to mockup what it could look like with the various options implemented (note that I've also included the Wrap feature option in case that gets implemented as well)

In effect, if you had all Helper Options disabled, and no hotkeys for Direction Select, CPM or Frameskipping, that would essentially
be the "Classic Mode" I've talked about previously. Whilst I probably wouldn't play NeoLemmix like that very often, it would be good to know the option is there.
