We already have current-services in the same module, documented as:

  Return the list of currently defined Shepherd services, represented as
  <live-service> objects.

It's already a public interface.  Here I was interested in having a
convenient way to retrieve a single live-service instead of the full
list, thus the singular version.

Does that make sense?
