The user would have to know about the user option to turn it on...  On
the other hand, as we've discussed in the "profile" issue, we might have
a profile that switches all stuff like this on, which makes the issue of
discovery moot.

I'm not against the feature per se, but I'm just puzzled that somebody
would want this feature.  :-)
