Default Patch request: GPS "whitelist"

Greetings,

My apologies if this has been addressed before - my search-foo (really, an f and a u together are censored here?) did not turn anything of relevance up.

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a "whitelist" for Location Services/GPS. I've got Location Services on my Pre (1.4.5 on Sprint, if it matters) set to always ask me. There are a few apps (for me - Foursquare, Gowalla, Google Maps) I'd prefer to not have to "allow" to use Location Services. OTOH, I'd like to keep Facebook on a tighter leash - I rarely use Places, and so I don't want FB being able to access the GPS any time its open. Nor do I really want to just give open access to Location Services.

Yes, I'm probably paranoid.

Nonetheless, is this something that can be patched, perhaps? So that I can go to the Location Services control panel, and select Foursquare, Gowalla, and Google Maps to always be given access?

Any help would be much appreciated.
