Comment (by paulp):
That I share this obsession with providing a consistent interface is what
made me hesitate to open a ticket about it. But when consistency is
impossible (as it is here) all considerations become probabilistic
tradeoffs.
A lot of command line tools would benefit from introducing the
"plumbing/porcelain" distinction. Plumbing: consistency and completeness
are overriding considerations. Porcelain: whatever it is that most people
are doing most of the time should be optimized for, with all other
considerations secondary.
