 Replying to [comment:6 markjaquith]:
 > I think a good way of allowing people to disable this is via a filter on
 the auto-generated title.  That way they can just add a filter that
 returns a blank string and it will revert to the old behavior.  Filters
 cost us a lot less than an option.

 A better idea would be to put a filter on the title. If you then want to
 run this function as a filter, you can. But having it do this and then
 having to make me make a filter to put it back to the correct behavior is
 silly. At most I should have to do a "remove_filter" and nothing else. I
 would prefer that active action have to be taken in the first place.

 There is nothing inherently wrong with blank titles. They have uses. Don't
 eliminate them as an option, especially when this whole thing could
 (should) be a plugin in the first place.
