Clearer indication pronounciation—>definition

你好!
I remember someone said earlier (I think it was Nick) that you were working on some way to better indicate which pronounciation(s) matches with which definition(s).
Is this something that will be implemented soon (on the iOS app)? I think it would be really useful (especially when there are several traditional characters mapping to one simplified), as it is not very easy to read off of a quick glance now.

In cases where characters have multiple pronunciations, the standard procedure is to make a line break in the definition corresponding with each one.

Just remember that many characters have alternate pronunciations that correspond to very obscure meanings, and these cases are usually exceptions to this rule--otherwise the definitions for some very simple characters would have 10-line long entries that confuse everyone and look terrible.

If you do see any definitions where the line break needs to be fixed or added, let me know!
