I'm not sure we'd add this to the UI for clutter reasons, as you 
suggest. We've talked about per-user config in the past so maybe an 
'advanced' option could be added. Feel free to file an RFE if you'd like.

The command-line can do this now:

ipa user-show --raw --all Steven

The --raw option should be available in all commands.
