Well, I don't want to be PITA, and there are quite some examples for
this e.g. in Org-mode (thats why most Org commands are directly bound to
keys without having to deal with function args)...

To me this looks more like a 'political decision' from upstream (don't
do this, its not acceptable, and fix it when you have done it) than like
a bug report.

Pretty or not, thanks for the working and easy-to-digest recipe, very
helpful!
