I only use the properties currently output with -var-create. I think first you
need to consider carefully how you would use any new command and which
properties change after creation (if there are none then they could all be
accessed from -var-create). I'm not sure what you mean by forward to the new
command, presumably you can add a new command and leave the old ones as they
are.
