bitcoin-cli getrawmempool true

Currently this command returns all transactions in the mempool. it would be nice to have an extra arg dependent on verbose mode. (It would have no meaning in non-verbose mode)

ie.:

bitcoin-cli getrawmempool true 7dde270e7071667c5d53b073f1d7854319696ea10202e0fb8874c2361dcdd6da

Which would only return that single transaction if it is still unconfirmed and return empty if it has already confirmed or does not exist in your mempool.

ie.:

{
  "7dde270e7071667c5d53b073f1d7854319696ea10202e0fb8874c2361dcdd6da": {
    "size": 258,
    "fee": 0.00050000,
    "modifiedfee": 0.00050000,
    "time": 1493525525,
    "height": 464139,
    "startingpriority": 0,
    "currentpriority": 0,
    "descendantcount": 1,
    "descendantsize": 258,
    "descendantfees": 50000,
    "ancestorcount": 2,
    "ancestorsize": 516,
    "ancestorfees": 100000,
    "depends": [
      "8fb66a50a714462308fbaff262abe15d85a5823b7e8cbdefff23c2076685373f"
    ]
  }
}

Use case: Child Pays For Parent fee calculation by looking at ancestorsize and ancestorfees.
