Cursor on macOS when taking an area screenshot

On macOS, when you drag the cursor to create a screenshot of a specific area, the current width and height of the area is shown next to the cursor. This let's the user quickly measure something on the screen without external programs and get a screenshot of an area with requested dimensions.

A feature similar to this should be implemented to spectacle either as the default when creating a screenshot of an area or with a specific option set.

Attached is a picture of how it looks on macOS.
