I think the user's config is as good as anything for that case; either
way, you've got to set it once, and it's it (in fact, in typical usage,
I'll bet the per-user config is probably _easier_, as it doesn't change
when you build a new version of tla in a different directory, use a
different system with your NFS homedir, etc).
There seems little point in adding confusion by having the default be
system dependent.

And without it, _everybody_ would be happier....
The overhead of checking a config file is so far down in the noise, it's
silly to even be _talking_ about adding more problems just to avoid it.
