Depends on the words you use. May I suggest that you think about your
words some more next time? You have been pointed out by several
people already that your style and attitude make it very unpleasant to
have useful conversations with you.

Here we go again: you assume, almost by default, that no one has
considered that. And of course, your opinion that clearly shows is
that if we DID consider it, we would have changed MANY commands.

If you know about such commands (besides the two you mentioned), name
them. Otherwise such vague claims aren't useful.
