Wouldn't it be lovely if we had a program mode on
our AF cameras wherein we could set our desired
aperture and have it automatically focus for the
hyperfocal distance?

I believe Canon have had this for some time (or a variant of it) and yes, I
agree with you-especially for zooms which dispense with the DOF scale
completely these days. I would swap it for my 1005 pixel matrix meter which
still gets things wrong!
