It doesn't hurt to think about additional usecases, sure. But one of the
things that I want to caution against is that we now create the next
"grab bag" of unrelated features under a common name. After all, we are
trying to fix exactly this state in git-rev-parse(1). So the intent of
the command should be clearly defined to avoid this.
