OK. I offered you a way out. It's your decision.

I tried understanding what you are trying to do, and  even  though  I
feel  it's  not  exactly  an important or frequently used feature for
most of the users I tried to come up with a  compromize  that  allows
you  to  do  what  you  want to do without hurting others and without
polluting the command name space.

I'm sorry that I wasted my time on thinking about this.

You have a really, really funny way of deciding what matters and what
not. All the things you have in mind do  matter  (even  if  they  are
documented to be unsupported), while other existing and legal ways of
doing things don't matter. That doesn't make working with you an easy
task.

Best regards,
