I don't think it will be promoted to pausing_keep. I believe, at least
until the whole command mess is sorted properly, that it will be a third
way to do things for those that want this specific functionality. My
original patch to add this functonality directly to pausing_keep was
rejected in preference for this methodology. My guess is that there's
some paranoia in deference to maintaining strict backwards
compatibility.

Cheers,
Rob.
