I don't think I agree.
Looking at it from another aspect: don't you agree that the
alternative solutions are less intrusive? They introduce neither new
syntax nor new semantics, they just use existing facilities. Thus,
those alternatives don't increase complexity as much as the new arg of
'interactive'. It is advantageous to have a solution with less
complexity.
