The variable preferred_console is used only inside register_console()
and it's semantics is boolean.  Make it clear.
This loses the index of the preferred console.
I'm not sure this is better.
That index is not used anywhere.  I believe the patch makes things clear.
Well, with this change the name and its use
is a bit misleading.  Maybe changing it to
something like use_selected_console is better.
Thank you. I will fix this in the next version.
Ideally, the transform should be

 preferred_console => has_preferred
 selected_console => preferred_console

This would match the actual use of add_preferred_console()
