Show difference in space used when upgrading?

When pacman shows the total package size and then the total installed size would it also be possible to show how much extra space is used over the amount of space that those packages already use in my system?

Example:
Package 1 = 6mb and package 2 = 4mb so total installed size is 10mb.
I upgrade those packages. Package 1 is now 7mb and package 2 is 5mb. Total installed size is 12mb but it's only using 2mb extra space on my drive.

Or would this be impossible to determine?

Thanks.

Re: Show difference in space used when upgrading?

This would be quite interesting indeed,
what about a feature request on FlySpray ( bugs.archlinux.org ) if this hasn't been requested already ?
