I _like_ this feature. I even think it _might_ make sense to turn it on by default --- I would definitely argue for it if this were before 1.5.0 which we have enough time to give advance warning to users that the defaults and UIs would change, and the only reason I am saying "it _might_" is because it _is_ a change and it is post 1.5.0.

But because I had to say Gaah, I am currently in "discouraged" state. Extra eyeballing from the list, tests and Acks are greatly appreciated on this series from Paolo.
