[WT-support] Auto switch to S&P mode ?

[Steve London]

My question has nothing to do with ESM. Run and S&P modes are active in non-ESM 
configurations, too.

It seems intuitively obvious that if a user is in Run mode, and QSY's more than 
N Hertz, in all likelihood, the user intends to switch to S&P mode. It would be 
very useful to have an option which does this automatically.
