I see it now, have misunderstood your idea.

I personally would prefer some obvious "strange" but consistent
behaviour that would _force_ me to read the docs; with these subtle
tricks using "arbitrary" time constant (12.5 min) I can imagine one
getting different puzzling results occassionally but rarely enough to
avoid reading through the docs.

But probably that's just me, I'll wait patiently now to see what the
others say.
