FWIW I cannot stop to hate the term "primer" for this thing.

A "primer" has been explained to me as being a short leaflet that 
introduces you to the basic principles of something.  Or as a sequence of 
RNA (or in rare cases, not RNA but something similar) that starts 
replication of DNA.

IOW a primer is something that _has_ to come before something else.  
Without which the latter thing does not work.

Not a set of defaults, which this here patch is all about.

Ciao,
Dscho
