Like what parameters?

Demonstrate a need for them, and then we'll assign them when and if

hard to avoid 'pollution' with stuff like this for code that our tree
might never see.

I'd say, if it's a replacement for 'com', call it 'com'.  i.e. people
shouldn't need to worry about configuring it differently.
