relatively straightforward to do.
Is there anyone in the core team who would be willing to include this
change?
I doubt it. Even if you put together the patch (and I didn't see an
offer to do so), merging it into the trunk code would take more work
than you'd save in several years of typing the "1".

In the spirit of sour grapes, the proposed default
might discourage some users from vectorizing their
thinking.
