Also, believe it or not, some people use tcsh, etc, or have to use it on
an embedded device with busybox.

The script point is a good one, though such "auto" behavior is something
you want to be careful with if it generates a lot of extra dbus traffic
to resolve the object/method, especially in scripts.  This should be
discussed/mentioned in the man page/help/etc.
