It does make sense to me and would actually fix one of my problems, so
+1 for now.

I don't know about a compile-time option personally. I can just see it
causing lots more problems than solving anything.  It would introduce a
huge number of basically different mod_perls, with different behaviour
for the same user code, making bug tracking et all even more
problematic.

Making it a startup configuration should be possible, IMO. Only if that
turns out to be impossible, I'd make it a compile-time option.
