We need to think about how to implement this carefully. And currently I
cannot *think* as I'm mechanically grading student finals :)

Let's not thrash the idea because it is difficult to implement! First lets
answer this Q: is there any value-addition to user-friendliness due to
this feature? IMO ... yes! What say?

Goes without saying ... only as the arguments get bigger :)
