    Maybe we need a user-option expressing a general preference and a
    programmatic variable that can be programmatically bound or set after
    it is made a local-variable?

We don't actually *need* any change in this particular area.
Could people please turn attention to some of the changes
in etc/TODO that would make a real difference to users?
Or to fixing some of the more difficult real problems that we have?
