Feature Wishlist: Locations

I was thinking how cool it would be if I could customize settings for each location in OS X.
Currently Location only works for network configurations. Wouldn’t it be cool if apple added more functionality to this making your laptop smarter.
Lets take this scenario into account. At home where your macbook may be secure a screensaver that prompts for a password is unnecessary. Nobody is there to snoop! Bring that laptop out of the context of that location, such as work and the whole situation changes. It would be super awesome to be able to change your location to “Work” and get instant changes to all your settings. Not only network settings but screensaver would then lock on prompt. Of course each locations settings would be completely configurable.
Opinions?
