Preserve normals on applying Negative scale (Option)

At this moment when you apply scale to a mesh which has negative scale you get its normals inverted. Like at this picture for example In many, if not most, cases this behavior is simply annoying and requires more actions from the user.
For example Maya solves this problem by adding checkbox 'Preserve Normals' to its Freeze Transform options.
I think ‘Preserve normals’ should be added in Apply Object Transform options and be checked by default.
