It was my first thought...

But there is a problem, a "default" worklist with both units and
building, seems strange to me, and thus there can be problem to have
such a default worklist.

A solution is to have only improvement in the "default" worklist.
(and if there are no improvement that you can build at a particular
moment? you go coinage? and then if an new improvement is available, do
you switch back or not?...)

So, thinking on this... I've delayed my post...
