#Semaphores and Redstone Signal Strength

So right now, semaphores have 2 states when used manually.

#

All Clear (Left) and Danger (Right)

However, there isn't a way (as far as I can tell) to set it to Caution

So how to fix this..

#

Here's my idea

#

In Minecraft there are different signal strengths (0-15)

#

So why not make it so any redstone signal from 1-7 turns the semaphore to Caution? Any signal from 8-15 can change it to Danger and 0 as clear.

#

This wouldn't even be a problem with levers as analog levers are already made with signal strength in mind.

#

Not only that but redstone links carry signal strength with them.

We can't really do this because it would break any existing worlds that use a redstone signal from 1-7 to force to danger.
however, if you place 3 nixie tubes, use a nametag to set them to display YELLOW, and place a display link targeting a semaphore with the 'distant' option on the nixie tubes, you can achieve the same effect
