Hi all, I personally like this idea, and I find it pretty useful. And this does not sound too difficult to implement.
But I am not sure if everyone will like it, so if we do it, we should probably add a pref to turn it on/off. The good news is that Ali has been doing some work on scriptifying the Prefs stack, so in the future it will be easier to add Prefs for such features.
