I wanted to try that if it was available. It would block the hot/bright sun that comes in the upper side window (which always seemed to be behind where the visor could reach ) yet not overly darken further down, where you'd look to see other traffic and surroundings.
A lot of cars I've been in have this as a strip on the upper part of the windshield. I'm sure they must manufacture something similiar in bigger portions.

Edit:

Here is a page on Canadian tinting. Keep in mind we measure it the opposite way of the US. We go by how much light will be let through, so 70% means 70% of light is let through the tint.

Also, this page doesn't say it but some provinces allow 15 cm's of tint at the top of the windshield. Whatever the case, I suggest anyone who's looking to add tint to pay a visit to their official provincial automobile law website and find out 100%.
