I understand the reasoning. The patch looks OK as far as it goes. I
don't doubt that it works. I just want to see if we can come up with
something more general-purpose than the pattern that this patch
represents.
I had already been looking at making the process of adding a new action
easier and less error-prone. (Ethan pointed out that there are some
nonobvious places that need updates.) It's a logical further step to
make the process of adding more vendor extensions less error-prone.
