Well, no, that depends on the wrapper function. And that's exactly the
problem with these functions: it's one size fits all --- to have
configurable output you'll use the function from PhpWeather directly,
to have the stock report-with-icons-and-drop-down you'll use a wrapper
function.

We could then make the wrapper function accept arguments that control
whether or not the drop-down box should be rendered... but then we're
adding complexity again :-)
