Thanks for the great ideas and investigation about how this could be
implemented.  Sounds doable, and that a config-time switch could turn it on.

I think a lot of people would use this feature, since sysadmins want to know
about all problems on a host, but app admins want to be notified about just
certain problems (e.g. when their disk is filling up).

To formally request this feature, is it sufficient that I posted it here, or
should I add it to http://tracker.nagios.org/ and/or somewhere else?
