Draw (parts of) avatars in hud space client side
Extrude Ragu
Ability for a client side script to draw a section of an arbitrary nearby avatar in HUD space.
ie. so you could do a live portrait of someones avatar head as part of a HUD. Think of games like starfox or visual novels where the heads of characters are displayed.
Obviously scope for abuse so limits would have to be thought about too. Just throwing random thoughts out.

I can see how either this or the ability to show someone's profile picture in a client-side HUD would be useful. It would provide an intuitive indication of who is doing what, which could be very handy in notifications in crowded areas. Of the two, I would prefer to see a render of their head because some people frequently switch avatars.
Given that I could just cam in to look at someone's head, I do not believe there is any scope for abuse. Obviously, it should not let you see avatars that you would not otherwise be able to see (e.g. defeating the "Hide Avatars" feature of a parcel).
This request goes well with this other request https://feedback.secondlife.com/lua-viewer-alpha/p/making-our-own-mmorpg-ui that appears to be asking for a Lua-scriptable canvas widget.

That might be a bit much... might be easier to use their profile picture instead. When users realize it's being used that way, they'd update their pic if they feel like it.
