Why would that beneeded?  And why must it be done mandatorily, without
a chance for the user to configure different behaviour?

Please feel fre to define defualt settings, but please always give the
user an option to select different behaviour.  This is what the
environment variables are made for - if we would always sent them
mandatorily in the code, we would nbot need any representation in the
environment.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
