Nobody, certainly not me, is talking about forcing anyone to do things
in a certain way.  This is currently configurable (although there is a
bug in it).  What we are talking about is the best choice for a default.

There is certainly nothing perfect about a default which is a poor 
choice and not suitable for newbies that are unlikely to change the 
default for a while.

Since I had to modify the code to get what I wanted to work correctly, I 
wouldn't say that the current setup allows for a choice and does tend to 
force users to use the default.
