I like the idea too, but I would suggest not making it a "hidden
feature", but rather implementing a GUI dialog for this. Hidden
features are always problematic, in that they are... well, hidden, and
as such get little testing.

If we implement this feature, I think we should go all the way and do
it properly :)
