This seems reasonable to me.  Ordinarily I don't like implicit
arguments, since sometimes they bite back in the future.

Could you submit a PR suggesting this mechanism?  I like to have
things like this in Gnats so we don't lose them.

Please submit a (separate) PR for this too.  Doing checking here is
appropriate and easy.
