That kind of heuristic is bound to trip some people, I think.  It's
difficult to set a threshold that will suit everyone.  It's also
difficult for users to set such a threshold, if we give them an
option.

Can't your problem be solved with "C-x RET c dos RET" before the
command that gives you the trouble?
