Would a config var for --force-with-lease be useful?

Hello Everyone:

I'm considering writing a patch that adds a configuration variable
that will allow the user to default the command:

git push --force

to:

git push --force-with-lease

As discussed here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30542491/push-force-with-lease-by-default

Now, I understand that there are downsides to having this enabled,
namely that a user who has this enabled might forget that they have it
enabled, and, as such, on a machine that _doesn't_ have it enabled (of
which they are unfamiliar) might then run the more consequential
command "git push --force", but my thinking is that adding this as a
feature to the git codebase as an _optional_ (i.e. not enabled by
default) configuration variable would then save some of us who use a
"rebase-then-force-push for pull request" workflow some time and
headaches.

Of course, I don't want to submit a patch if this is a feature that
isn't likely to be accepted, so I wanted to get some thoughts from the
mailing list regarding this idea.

Thank you,

~Scott Johnson
