Yes, it would be partially like PMIE. I am quite clear in how it would
work -
you would enter condition and the regions which satisfy the codition would be
(somehow) highlighted. You would be able to jump to next/previous region
(probably with some time threshold).

Yes, it would allow you the comparsion. The question is how much useful it
would be to have these graphs in one window instead of the two windows. This
feature would not require too much coding, so it helps I am ready to include it.
