One main use is to see multiple related functions next to each other and
compare their source code. But also because one is used to \df and
wants to see everything there and not in a different format like \sf.
So ways to consolidate that would be supporting wildcards and multiple
results in \sf, and/or the option to show a truncated version of the
source code in \df+, or perhaps a \df++.

We added a new column related to a new feature, which is hardly changing
the structure.
