Sounds like a fair idea to me - but I don't know how feasible it is.
Fl_Pref's is Matthias' baby, so maybe he could express a view on the
goodness or otherwise of this idea?
Also, for what it is worth, if we do add this function, I'd prefer it
was not hidden inside Fl_Pref's but was in the fl_functions or similar,
so that it might be generally available (since I use it a lot anyway!)
