Hmmmm. I can't find documentation on this. What does Data Field Alert provide for? Pushing Alerts from a Data Field to what?

It goes with the new Data Field Alarms feature added in 3.2. Check out the announcement post for a little more detail.
Looked through the SDK doc and couldn't find anything more.
The API doc does mention it, but doesn't say much
There are a few mildly documented features such as this. I would also like to see some more info on how to use the monkeydoc tool as well. But I guess we will have to trial and error to figure it out.
The method details you are looking for is under the WatchUi - > Datafield -> showAlert(alertView). It is the method to display the datafield alert view to display what you want to push on top of the activity window. It appears to be specific to Datafields but inherits from the normal view class.
Is there a way to check if the alert is enabled for the DF without displaying it? I know I can call showAlert in try {} but I'd like to display a bell or a crossed bell icon depending on the status.
