What a novel idea!  I'm glad that someone out there remembers that it is
possible to do things without either writing a special-purpose program or
adding YA feature to an existing program.  I remember that we used to do
things like that with UNIX...wait a minute...

Seriously, I'm amazed at the way programs pile up features when there are
other good ways (shell scripts foremost) for users to tailor their
environments.
