It turns out if you search for the world “USB” in the built-in Bing app in Windows Phone 8.1 it pops up an option to choose to see USB settings, above, which offers the ability to be asked before letting your phone connect to a computer to synchronize, and also to be notified when you connect to a slow charger.

Unfortunately at present the settings do not work, but presumably this is one of those unfinished bits which shows Windows Phone 8.1 is not quite polished yet.
