I was working on this myself last month by implementing new modes that are an amalgamation of existing settings, so nobody gets broken and backwards compatibility is ensured. I gotpretty far, but I hit a frustrating wall and forgot about it. :/ Your work here reminded me about it so I've re-based the patch, cleaned it up a bit, and fixed the problem I was having before (sometimes you just need to sleep on it for a month, eh?). I'll gladly hand off the work I've done so far to you if you want to finish it up. The `TODO` in the diff is accurate.
