There was discussion of having it done automatically by the build
functions[1], but the issue there was fixed by making the
autoconnection work properly when called multiple times.

Is there cases where autoconnecting on building would result in
premature calls to handlers? I'm thinking of some status-and-control
UI that needs to be synced on startup but for which re-setting the
same status is not a no-op... But I guess you could just block the
handlers in those cases.
