So we're proposing adding parameters to simplify things for users? I
don't think fiddling is going to improve things significantly from a
usability perspective, especially at the last minute. 

I'm guessing this conversation has more to do with the situation that
some very clever people have a little time on their hands after a long
period of hard work. I see no problem that needs to be solved, not
alongside this water cooler at least. Smells like beta time.
