Token Bar (hp/ac/etc) Hidden by Fog of War/Line of Sight

How difficult would it be for the devs to fix it so that token bars, PCs specifically, are visible even when line of sight/fog of war partially covers the token? It's a pain to keep asking my party members how their hp looks just because the field of vision is blocking the bar. The water elemental is the only enemy on this map, for reference. Thoughts? Has this been suggested before?

To your point, I would love for visibility of the token bars and name plates to be governed by the new collision box used for updated dynamic lighting. If you can see the collision box, you should see the bars and name plates. If you cannot then they are not visible. For a visual reference, in my screenshot there is a door with a dynamic lighting line obscuring Lord Nagafen. Unfortunately, Lord Nagafen has a lengthy title befitting a Red Dragon and this causes his long name to run over the dynamic lighting line for the door. This makes his name partially visible to the players who now know he is on the other side of the door. The other side of the coin is the guard at the bottom of the screenshot. Part of his name is visible. If he can be seen by the player then I feel they should see the bars and plate even if obscured by a dynamic lighting line.

It makes seeing the token more difficult but players can at least see health bars in most situations this way.
