Agreed -- I really don't want to have a subcommand for every common
tunable.  The point of my show-linkcap example was to illustrate that some
things that we have historically modeled as properties may be markedly
easier to represent through some other means, and that we should explore
that space (but perhaps ultimately reject it).
