I'd like to come out in support of having it available as an option, if
only because this suggestion has cropped up a fair few times.
It's non-standard behaviour, yes. I prefer things to be consistent, yes.
But the bottom line is, a number of people want this because they
believe that software should adapt to the end-user, not the other way
around.
So, lets' make it an option, with the current behaviour being the
default.
Cheers, Nathan.
