I agree with your point. In fact, since everybody until now seems to
agree that the "last command" behavior isn't consistent, I think Tom's
suggestion is the best.

I understand. If we can reach an agreement on another way, that's ok

We still have to hear the other developers about this, but for a
while, my votes go to Proposal's #2 (by Tom) and Proposal #3 if enough
people consider it important.
