View the set of the remaining candidates (together with an estimation
about the number of bisects still needed) would be a helpful
information too. Displaying both will probably result in a cluttered
output.

What do you think about a '--history'  option instead for displaying
the 'development' of a bisect operation? (In this case we should also
ensure that the bisect.state stores the operation in the actual order)
