It just happens to include an ERASE command.

Fair enough.  I'm sure there's a good reason for being this hard-assed
about not changing things.  It's hardly the first time MOVE has been
suggested, and somehow it's managed to not make the difference every
other time (which is probably why there's an incompatible AOL one
already.  I'm kinda suprised gmail didn't do one as well - though I
guess they work around it with keyword fiddling instead if they know
they're talking to their own server)

I'm still going to write it locally because it's a single instruction
which describes the exact intention to the server.
