I must admit, you've certainly reinforced my feelings that I should implement
this*. Can I suggest that we add this to the list of things for proper
discussion by the Gem list, once the current issues are resolved?
* refers of course to the selection stuff, not the hidden functionallity bit.

But if we as library writes can implement these things for the programmer
without him having to do anything about it, then all apps could benefit
from these without cost. For example, reading of the app-defaults file could
be done as part of the library initialisation code.
