Interesting problem.  There isn't currently a better mechanism than
what you've done, but I'll add one.  I'd like suggestions on what it
should look like.  Some options:

(ifile-set-active bool), or
(ifile-activate) and (ifile-deactivate),  or
(with-ifile-inactive body) 

Preferences? Other ideas?

Thanks,
Jeremy
