Actually:

1. I strongly disagree that that would be more useful.  It would leave
   the newbie trap and usability bug in place.

2. John Wiegley has been working on some code that allows such things to
   be trivially implemented and I'd rather not duplicate / overlap with
   him.  John, would you care to push your org-x stuff upstream soon?
