Oh well, thanks. But then I expect specific testcases to come with it, 
for the various values of the parameter, both the default and the other 
other values. Otherwise, the idea isn't really immediately useful. See 
what I mean?

Also, please make sure that this change is in any case a step in the 
right direction. I mean: I suppose that if we do this only the logic to 
control automatically the switch is missing and when we add it we are 
done. Let's not do it if I'm mistaken.

Thanks!
Paolo.
