This is discoverable, users will notice it anytime they are dragging. It suggests what will happen, in an obvious way. It is intriguing, and will piqué users' curiosity: "A long box appeared? What does that mean?" This encourages experimentation.
Again, probably not perfect and there are many details to implementing it, but it seems like an interesting interface.

I like that, the ONLY issue I can think of is that people are used to having whatever's under the finger get out of the way for re-arranging. But again, doing it like iOS4 will help once that's out on the iPad.
