> What do others think about making this the default?

My understanding is that usage style of registers varies a lot, where
some people use them extensively, so any change that makes them
heavier/slower (such a requiring a confirmation) will alienate them.
For that reason I'd opt to keep the defaults as close to the previous
behavior, focusing on making the new features discoverable rather than
enabled by default.
