Main reason not to do so: KISS! Having many functions doing more-less the same (even when overloading these) is a very *BAD* idea which which populates the API, brings confusion to it, you newer know what what is responsible for what, it is more difficult to remember parameters, manual is bigger and nobody is happy.
If you like different syntax, there is nothing to stop you to define your own simple function wrappers which does what you describe. R.
