Summary:
Hi, I'd like to be able to flip the default behavior of the green button in OS X Yosemite so that instead of defaulting to full screen and having to option-click to get the old "fill screen" behavior from pre-Yosemite OS's, you could have it default to "fill screen" and need to option-click to get to full screen. 

For now I'm using the "double click the title bar" workaround, but this is

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click green button, have app go to full screen. 
2. Swear
3. Click green button again to exit full screen. 
4. Option-click green button to get the current window to fill the screen. 
5. Look for option to swap this behavior, do not find it. 
6. Have a sad. 

Expected Results:
Some kind of user-settable option to flip this behavior back. 

Even a com.defaults.apple something somewhere I can set with terminal would be lovely, but preferably a checkbox in System Preferences would be ideal.  

Actual Results:
(see steps to repro)

Version:
OS X 10.10.0

Notes:
If the engineer who makes this happen contacts me, I will personally bake them chocolate chip cookies and ship them to Cupertino. I am dead serious. 

Configuration:
Anything running Yosemite.
