Improve UI for parametrized models: Display expressions

I'm working on an object with a lot of parametrization. On most parts, numbers don't really mean anything/I'd like to see the expressions, but I always have to activate that setting when entering a sketch. I think the user experience can be improved here.
I would like to have a way to enable the "Show expressions" option on sketches by default. Either for my user, or for a document or by sketch. I think from a user standpoint it would also make sense if, when you open a sketch, it restores the options which were activated the last time this sketch was open.
Even when working with extrudes, I'd prefer to see the used expressions instead of numbers in its settings. For example for one extrude, it shows as 3mm depth with a starting offset of 4mm. Only when clicking in the fields, it shows as #lid_stabilizer_thickness or #lid_thickness_inner_part. This makes me think I hardcoded something I didn't intend to. This is unclear display. As a minimum, I'd like to have at least an icon or something else indicating that the value shown is the result of an expression.
