Default Auto-Crossfades (in Takes Recording Mode)

REQUEST:
I'm requested that Auto-Crossfades be functional in Takes Recording Mode.

PROBLEM:
Currently the option "Overlap and crossfade items when splitting..." (under Default Media Items in Pref) does not work with Takes mode.

BENEFIT:
1.) Users would not have to choose between auto-crossfade functionality and Takes recording functionality
2.) This removes the need to manually create auto-crossfades across recorded/punched passages which can be hundreds of edits in sessions!
2.)This will be a benefit to users who are used to Ableton Live (And other DAWS) which behave this way.
3.) It makes auto-crossfades behave uniformly across different recording modes, meaning there is less chance for people to "forget" that auto-crossfades weren't created. Users who are used to other recording modes will find auto-crossfades functioning the same when using Takes Mode
4.) Auto-crossfades remove the chance for clicks and pops that are present without fades.
5.) Auto-crossfades are also often more desirable than fade in/fade out, as that can often cause an audible dip in volume in audio that has a solid sustained tone.

REASON:
1.) Without Auto-crossfades the only options for two media items overlapping is fade in/out or no fades at all. Fade in/out can create an audible dip in sustained tones that cross this line. No crossfades creates clicks and pops.
2.) Without Auto-crossfades in Takes Mode, users who are used to auto-crossfades from other recording modes (And other DAWs) may be expecting auto-crossfades to work when they do not, requiring manual input of fades.

People who don't want/use auto-crossfades do not have to use it, as the check box can still be unchecked. I am simply requested that the option actually works in Takes mode

IMPLEMENTATION SUGGESTION:

I would suggest that the "split action" occurring in Takes mode be set to create the auto-crossfades the same as a standard "s" shortcut split action would.

I would almost call this a bug, as Takes mode is described as "splits existing media item..." under "New Recording That Overlaps Existing Media Item".

Technically it is either not actually "splitting" the item (As splitting should created a crossfade via the Default Media Item preference) OR the option in Default Media Item is somehow defeated in Takes record mode, even when checked.

There are many people under many posts who would like this to actually work. I will link threads below.

Thanks! I'll look into this script, thanks. I think I saw another one floating around too.

Would like to request the crossfade action or the split action properly be applied in Takes mode. As it stands, the checkbox for auto-crossfades is not functional in Takes Mode. (Always fade in/out, never crossfade)

Illustration below:
