If you're willing to spend the effort, I won't stop you :-) but I think the
pain of parsing a string once (during negotiation) is not that bad, and
I'm not too bothered about it.

Put otherwise, I'm not convinced that the downside (which I agree
exists) outweighs the downside of having to introduce yet another
command, or add some ugliness for backwards compat reasons.

But hey, go ahead, prove me wrong ;-)
