I thought this sounded bad at first, but the more I think about it,
the less unreasonable it seems. This is really no different than the
existing functions run_modes() and mode_param(), which only have any
effect up until the point that the run mode is chosen. Changing
either of these in the run-mode has no chance of changing the
selected run mode. I'm starting to like this much better than having
to return a value that was passed to the function in order to make
the simple addition of the function not completely break your
application.
