Not yet.  Gotta contend with logistical issues like lunch.  :-)

I have wondered if a global way to control this behavior for all 
libraries is a good idea.  I mean, most people don't really want to type 
stuff in for every single library they're building.  Of course you don't 
want a global behavior to be inescapable; people still have to be able 
to make local exceptions.
