No, I simply haven't added those yet. I wanted to request comments about 
whether anyone really wanted/cared to have such a thing submitted.

The reason the command part exists is to facilitate command construction 
across multiple versions of MI. It is also used to pin down the names of 
the varobjs.

It's only a convenience. I find it easier to write "Varobj::create foo" 
than "-var-create foo * foo"; I can never remember the whole syntax 
without looking it up.

I can whack it before submitting.
