You would be happy with adding "cmd", and may think enough. But Someone
is not happy with it. And someone want to add "sh", "py", and "pl".

If I have to tackle it, why I have to make happy only your state? I'm
not saying current has advantage, I'm saying your patch doesn't make
guys happy like current one. It is just moving a place of happiness from
a group to an another group, right?

Thanks.
