Well, what I had in mind was that it would be temporarily toggled
*during* the drag... So you could start the drag with D, and then you
notice you need to turn on/off snap to get it right, so you just hold
Alt too, without releasing the D button. It's still D=drag, but modifier
keys (alt,ctrl,shift) can be used to alter it's behaviour...
