Bug Description
Kicad has a couple of useful clean up options that are accessible using;
Edit -> Clean Up Tracks and Vias.
However, our designs sometimes intentionally have stubs (for capacitance or pcb filters) or redundant vias, which can sometimes make using this option dangerous (ie; removing the redundant vias used to stitch high current power traces together).
It would be really nice if these options were added to DRC so that we could SEE exactly where these things are occurring, without also removing them. By identifying those locations, we would be able to manually clean up the design, without unintentionally removing essential design features.

This would be really helpful. The only way to find them now is to clean them up and then cycle through undo/redo watching for changes on screen.
