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.
