Yes, you are right that this would be handy. And it probably was the idea when
these files came up. But it did not work.
Note that this report does not change behavior.
So I am opening a new report to collect some ideas how to improve the default
leader. Since we have the framework code already, we could pass that one to the
plugin. When we add a preference, we could add leaders there per framework
code. I would not favor hardcoding BKS BOOKS etc. in the plugin..

See bug 14815.
