Hmm, we've had this in the past already, but it has been removed in
commit 460b4572ab6b7d37c8e952b99c9916acc31c3d17 ... IIRC we considered
that this was too complicated for most users, so we switched to
something more userfriendly instead. Not sure whether it's such a good
idea to re-introduce these settings...?
