Oh, I must have misunderstood.

You mean you=E2=80=99d want to be able to set both an absolute threshold an=
d a
relative threshold?  (Why =E2=80=9Cbig and small=E2=80=9D actually?)

Why not, but it seems to me we might be going overboard for something
that=E2=80=99s just meant as a hint to help people learn about =E2=80=98gui=
x gc=E2=80=99.  :-)

Ludo=E2=80=99.
