exactly martin, you're definitely right man on the right place .. I
strongly agree with what you have said above because although we have
other supporting utilities left, there is no real reason why some $tool
couldn't know a reasonable feature itself rather then calling these
utilities at the top of its intent if requested so.

this my opinion also covers Alexander Skwar's Q: about purpose for this
functionality in case, that we have some yet another tools which can
achieve that.
