Describe the feature:
It can be hard to perform quick comparisons between non-numeric values.
In this context visual hashes are a typical solution to provide a solution to this problem.
A similar feature has been requested also for Discover here: #37191
I see this a complimentary feature to the color by terms/value for non-numeric values.
Current workaround
At the moment it is possible to reproduce the feature via field formatters using an external visual hashes API: #37191 (comment)
Implementation notes:
The main issue here would be to provide a solid implementation for the visual hash: in the workaround above an external API was used, but there are also open source libraries to use for it.
