Ah, but that will limit the scope of the '.am.clean-cmd.{f,d}' commands,
making them only able to act on the content of a give variable, rather
than on a generic list of items (which might or might not be variable
references). The reduction in code size that would be gain with your
proposed API is not worth such a limitation IMHO.
