Comment(by james):

 It might be cleaner to provide a typedef for "threshold", which can
 initially be numeric but later a struct that includes units (I'm thinking
 a little like fpos_t in fgetpos/fsetpos). We'd probably also want to
 overload set_FOO_threshold so there's one with separate formal parameters.

 This preserves `set_flush_threshold(set_flush_threshold(0))`, allows for
 set_flush_threshold(int) to do the obvious thing, and provides a path to
 develop this further without more magical behaviour. Having
 set_flush_threshold(int) preserve the existing units is less obvious to me
 than having a default unit.
