My feelings exactly, the more as the 'favourites' panel gets quite close to 
what is proposed, without hiding the more advanced options in the modules 
(like masking...)

There's also the option to copy (part of) the history stack from one image to 
one or several others, something I had occasion to use recently. I had several 
hundred images of a performance, in groups of 10-20. Presets/styles would have 
been clumsy, as basically being single-use, so editing one in each group and 
copying the history stack was just what was needed there.
