I certainly see your point(s), but I'm not convinced yet. ;) Adding "another" workaround to compete with the improved toolchain 
design later on, just doesn't feel right to me. I like well-defined paths, clear guidelines...because these are also easier to teach 
and explain to users.

But these are just my very personal 2cents, so if you feel like hacking on a proposal for this...just do it.
