With the introduction of live view on some of the newer model cameras (where you can use the LCD instead of the viewfinder) is it also possible to have a live view of the histogram? Updating as you point the camera around at different scenes?

Great feature. Set (a pun is coming) up your camera so you can press the Set button to turn on live view. I often use it for a quick check on exposure, even hand held, though I'm probably looking at the actual pix more than the histogram.
