I do not think you achieve much by doing this. Doing this automatically,
as you suggested below, further reduces your chances.

OpenSSH's client reads ~/.ssh/config where you can put these (and a lot
of other) settings. Apparently, this isn't widely known, but 'man 5
ssh_config' is enlightening, especially since you can create short
aliases for your hosts and different settings for the same host with
different aliases.
