I wouldn't expect that to be something that can be configured. As to
the default of (18,0) vs some other value, I would never allow a
default to be used so it doesn't strike me as a problem. It is so
much safer, and so simple, to always specify what you need explicitly
that I just can't get interested in the issue.
