Recognizing that we, as a community, have no real means or method to make these decisions, I'll just register my opinion that I (at this moment) think this option should remain off by default. It's a very narrow feature, and as Thomas mentioned in IRC, it could easily be seen as better handled by a local customization.

I don't mind seeing this included in a release, but I think the real value in this code is providing an example for someone wanting to do something similar. Including it, but leaving it off, serves this purpose without leading to an eventual glut of special purpose widgets.

I do think there is merit to the testing/support argument Ben raises. Ideally we might someday support two or three stock configurations (e.g. minimal, standard, and full), but until then, I think we muddle through with whatever we collectively deem "standard".

Just two more cents.
