This is a very good suggestion, but the only drawback is that you have to
carry more than one cameras if you are doing general-purpose photography. 
That's why most people try to find a general-purpose film.  Also, for those
that don't use a lot of film, sticking with one kind and learning how to use
it properly might be better than confusion resulting from the use of many
types of films (direct danger is that you forget what speed film is in your
stereo cameras -- Yes it happens to me too!!!) -- George
