Description
Motivation
Usually, I have many units queued in a game, especially infantry. At the moment, only the total number of units is shown. This makes it hard to judge when to bother editing the queue.
Proposed solution
A small queue with mini icons displayed for the open production tab. This could be the first 5 types of units or something like that. I've included a mock-up
The queue consists of two missile soldiers, 7 riflemen and one more missile in that order.
It would also be nice to be able to cancel units at specific points in this queue.
There are similar features in other RTSs, e.g. AOE2:DE.
Side effects
Takes up screen space. It might be nice to have a toggle button or something in the options.
Alternatives
I can't think of anything.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the open production tab and the code that currently displays the total queued-unit count, then trace how the production queue records unit order. Done means the tab shows the proposed mini-icon queue, supports the requested ordering and point-specific cancellation, and accounts for the stated screen-space concern.
