suggestion regarding character deletion

Having just deleted a character, I noticed something that could be improved.  The current deletion gump says:
============================
DELETE A CHARACTER

Are you sure you want to delete this character?
This is IRREVERSIBLE!

Type 'Delete' into the field to confirm
============================

Assume the character is named "Sally Slicer".  My suggestion is to improve the gump as follows:
============================
DELETE A CHARACTER

Are you sure you want to delete Sally Slicer
(from the third slot)?
This is IRREVERSIBLE!

Type "Delete" into the field to confirm
============================

The main idea is to provide extra feedback on which character would be deleted.  Include their name.  You can take this a step further by identifying which slot the character is in.  This would be especially useful for the strange among us who might give multiple characters the same (or a very similar) name.  The most minor enhancement is to use double quotes around Delete.  I believe single quotes are for quoting within a quote.  Alternatively, embolden the word Delete and don't use quotes at all.

  • I never really had a problem with it because the character your deleting is always highlighted.
    I could see mistakes eventually being made though
