I agree that it is in a way an interesting thought. However, I would
guess that hub owners wouldn't like the bandwidth that's wasted on
sending redundant information like that.

Also, there is no problem with adding a parameter. If a command needs
to be extended, we could add an optional parameter, and if it is
omitted, the command will display the older behavior.

Changing the order of parameters seems rather unnecessary, IMHO. Could
you give an example of where that would be useful?
