Sure, if someone asks for them.

Furthermore, this is a bogus line of argumentation.  There is no
slippery slope here, there is a specific feature under discussion.

Apparently Nick wants it for Emacs.

Personally, I agree, it is useless to distinguish them.  I can't
remember ever caring about this distinction, and quite to the contrary,
I am often irritated that the CLI makes it.

If Nick does not in fact want this for Emacs, then yes, I agree, don't
bother.
