Why multiple ways to say the same thing, in a new command with no
legacy to be compatible with?

Even on the commands where .e and .i used to do something, that's now
the default, and the suffix is unnecessary.  So I don't see any need to
mimic the syntax.

What do "e" and "i" even stand for?  It looks like they were "for
compatibility with older units" even when first committed.
