Hmm, I don't see this as 'advanced', it's just a function of one's working environment.  
Users who are on a heterogeneous network are likely to need it, whether they are 'power 
users' or not.

If it's made a command-line option then the nice front-panel terminal launcher does you no 
good.  And if you rlogin followed by exit...  

personally I think this is only useful if you can turn it on and off at will, within a 
session.  Of course I use 'stty' but a menu option would be nice, for those folks/occasions 
when memory fails.  'man stty' only helps if you remember the command name ;-)
