For example, the the first time "\pi" automatically turns into a greek
symbol in the current buffer, you might see a message telling you
what's just happened. In addition to being informative, this message
should have an "actionable" aspect to it -- specifically, the user
could be given the choice to either "accept" the new feature, or
"reject" it. Upon accepting the feature, this particual message would
go away. Upon rejecting the feature, not only would the messages go
away, but your .emacs would get set up with a configuration item that
stops the feature from activating in the future.
It is an interesting idea to develop for a future release.
