	Point of information: this seems useful for developers, and
(almost entirely) useless for everyone else.  Are there other
cohorts that want this badly?
	If that's correct, and there's a simple switch for
configuration ... why should this default to what's useful for the
(much?) smaller number of people?  About what am I ignorant?

	Curiously,
