Yeah, I think the behavior should be optional and should default to
"off".
I think it's best to consider this as a new feature -- so it would need
a new ptype flag, documentation, NEWS entry, and tests. The bad news is
that this is much more work for you. That's probably why nobody has
implemented it before.
