The problem with that, is that the parameter is considered to be TRUE/FALSE and
any non-zero value is considered true.  So, whether you add a new parameter or
alter the current one, you'd have a problem with other patched in code.  If you
are not prepared to deal with the problems as they come up, then you are better
off just copying the function to a new name and having it do what you want.
