It is not new. Adding another string to the array is exactly how it is
supposed to work. I'm not in favor of creating entirely new mechanisms
if the ones we have will suffice. Can you please demonstrate why it
will not work?

As for auto-discovery, I am not discounting your call-out for that
feature. I just don't think it applies to the use cases you have
provided. Additionally, I don't know if it is a problem yet, as Scott
has pointed out the /help query allows a client to discover a server's
capabilities.
