We already have files to do this. They're called '.bashrc' or
'.profile'.
Also, as much as I don't want to stifle anyone's creative impulses, I
guess I have to once again point out that there is a close to zero
percent chance that anyone is scanning the mailing list looking for
ideas to implement.
We are not short on ideas. We're frighteningly short on people to do
work.
