I was reviewing your patch and I found is a pre-existing setting that
claims to do what you want: "set source open off".

Could you try this and see if it works?  I suspect this is the way to
go.

Otherwise, we can look at your patch.  From a first read, I think the
idea is totally fine, but the implementation would need to be changed.
Also it would need documentation and a test case.

thanks,
