-Hackers,

 From the field. I do not care what you chose, I care that:

1. It is consistent
2. It is readable/understandable
3. It is documented
4. It is done wholesale (because of usability)

That's it. So whatever meets that criteria, let's go for it. That may 
mean that certain commands look a little off but with the goal of 
consistency that is o.k.. It becomes explainable.
