I don't like to add new user options without seeing concrete demand. For 
now, only one user wants it and I don't see myself using it, thus far.

In cases like this, I usually ask the requester (Stephen!) to write 
their own custom command and bind to a key combination of their liking 
(rebind C-x v L, in this particular case). If this turns out to be less 
than trivial, then we look into changing something. It should be simple 
in this case, I think.
