Two reasons I didn't suggest that:

a) Well, actually it never occurred to me...

b) I thought that you might want to have this an "admin-only"
    command, so nefarious users couldn't abuse it on a shared
    system.

I'm certainly fine with it using "+t".  Now it's just a matter
of figuring out how to implement it...  :-)
