Dynamic Lightning - "Sees All" option

I've only recently started using Dynamic Lightning in my games so when my player and I learned one of its biggest caveats we felt special. In case the screenshot is blurry, my player complains about the inability to see anything from atop towers or rooftops while otherwise being completely blown away by the tactical genius of this feature. And I promise, half in jest, I would post here. I saw a couple of "Obstructed" topics where they suggested solutions for this. Like my first thought: One-sided light obstructions. Brilliant. But even I know that'd be a tall order to implement so my suggested solution is simpler. A check box in the Advanced Lightning options in every token that lets the GM give unrestricted vision to a character. To ignore all light obstructions or even the whole dynamic light system and line of sight. Perhaps it's too much, I hear the detractors already. But it's probably easier to do and that's why I'm suggesting it. In any case, it would allow my PCs and plenty of others to climb on top of towers and rooftops and yell battle advice to their surrounded party members who are desperately trying to escape the city guard after yet another botched robbery or random slaying...
