I don't think it's a great idea to add this command, but….

I hear Andreas's original comments, and understand where he's coming from,
but for the last 10 years both Selenium Core and WebDriver managed to meet
testing needs without it. So, it's not a hard requirement for the "testers"
audience. So it feels that this is primarily aimed at browser vendors or
spec authors. If they need this method for some reason, we should probably
add it.

If we do add it, Marc's suggestion seems sensible to me.
