One possibility would be to include it in the style's action blocks. If the
action blocks would support wildcards it would be possible to include two
rules at the top of the "lines", "points" and "polygons" files:

(*)=yes {set $1=true}
(*)=no  {set $1=false}

This way the whole procedure would be completely under user control.
