Yes, indeed. But it might be useful to non french people too, I think.

I understand the problem of backward compatibility, and in this regard, it seems
difficult to modify the 'always' option. But what about adding a completely new
option?

As this might be helpful to non french people too, modifying the t-french module
only would be a pity (according to me, of course).
