I much prefer the latter suggestion, but it is not really a solution
to Joseph's request. Some people feel very strongly about playing the
game to it is theoretically settled (and I guess that I'm one of
them), but that doesn't mean we cannot accommodate those feel
otherwise. So I find Joseph's suggestion about adding an option and
keeping the default behaviour reasonable. We are, however drowning in
options, and at some point we need to find a way to organise them
better. One possible solution is to have a solution like firefox,
where only 5% of the options are directly accessible, while the rest
is hidden away in about:config.
