Displaying the hit boxes in game

I was wondering if there is a way to display hit boxes on the players in game for debugging?

You can turn on all the shape bounding boxes by setting $GameBase::boundingBox = true; from the console.

Remember, hitboxes aren't bounding boxes.

Bounding boxes are meant for generic damage and collision routines, while hitboxes are meant more for body part-based damage.

Hitboxes aren't really in game right now, but a few months back I remember Raistlin (in IRC) was talking about trying to get it in game for easier use. I have no idea on the progress though.
