Apparently, only if you set a global/per-user option in .emacs or suchlike,
which I think is a bad way of doing it.

I don't think this is misuse in any way. Consider a table which is a
result of your research: the columns are the maker (e.g., "Mazda"), the
type (e.g., "MX-5"), engine displacement (a number), the mileage/fuel
consumption (a number), etc., and I want to create some asymptote plot
from this data.
If there is no way of doing this without requiring global/per-user
settings, then I think that something must be changed.
