Since the only difference is that the word INTERSTATE is replaced by 
FUTURE, I don't see how we could show the difference. See the photos on 
http://web.duke.edu/~rmalme/i73seg7.html - in the first one it's almost 
impossible to tell that it's future. I'm also not sure that there's any 
benefit in distinguishing.

Note: this is different from the occasional 'future corridor' signs like 
in http://web.duke.edu/~rmalme/i74seg14.html - those should be marked 
with fut_ref=*.
