Edit: so as not to have 'local' source changes on my box only - that I then need to sort through every time I upgrade the source to latest version - such as you described (not a BIG deal with so minor a change - but I need LESS things in general to remember to maintain on my pc - not more :-))...

Assuming your local source changes are not in conflict with some other change in a new release, your local changes will automatically propagate. That said, I've been surprised at how often minor code changes seem to generate a conflict requiring some personal attention.
Yes, you can submit code to do this, but it will have to pass muster with Kovid before it's accepted, and option creep (too many choices) is a concern. It might be more acceptable as a "tweak" option rather than a checkbox option on a main Preferences screen.
