Can Jolla adopt Battery and Memory overlays?

tldr; I'd really like to know when I'm about to exhaust my device runtime memory so I can elect to avoid crashes.
The Battery Overlay add-on is more useful than requiring peeking at the reported percentage of battery charge remaining. Please integrate overlay device status information, especially relating to memory and battery charge that emphasises the red warning or brings up a warning widget when memory use is close to capacity?
I'd much rather get some kind of warning before I wilfully but unaware of impending (?#~!&), overextend an activity such that its progress is interrupted by a completely avoidable silent crash (aka. "where'd it go?").
Memory allocation control failures in overambitious devices that say "the Dev told me to do it and said I could, too" is annoying, and I suggest that passive overlay notifications might be a way to sometimes mitigate these occasional inevitabilities.
