I'd dismissed this because ultimately people can stick whatever they
want in there, so the number of ways in which it can fail is basically
unbounded.

But on second thought, it's probably not such a bad idea, since at
least it does close the default hole. People can still break things
with a combination of custom dynamic prompts and redefining things,
but that's likely to be much, much less common.

I've put it in my branch in this format....

Cheers,
