lol, this option has been there for almost as long as I've been playing. Quoted from the LU15 update notes (where have you been?

- There is now an option to auto-switch chat types: Options -> User Interface -> Chat Window -> Auto-switch chat types. If checked, the default chat type will change whenever you use something other than the current default. For example, if the default chat type is set to /say and you type something using /gsay, the default chat type will then be changed to /gsay. Note: This option defaults to unchecked (off) for existing characters and checked (on) for new characters.
