Because frequently:
- I get sampler I don't want (when not setting include pattern or making a
mistake recording)
- A sampler not in my excluded pattern appears and annoys me

I had recently to script a "strangely" developed app, and not having this
was a real pain in the ass because application made 10 samples per click in
average.
Plus always those safebrowsing calls from firefox...

Didn't think about it, we could popup with a select box of recorder to
start.
Is it frequent that you use many ?
