Do you think it makes any sense to change the definition of [==] given the 
extent to which Pd has been used already ?

And then, [==] couldn't just try to be smart and pick a threshold for you. 
You need to explicitly tell which threshold you want it to use. Any kind 
of automatic threshold will end up being an annoyance, a nuisance or 
worse.
