For DCL then I am all for KISS.

DCL should do the basic stuff needed by everybody.

If a few have advanced requirements then they write a COM file.

If even fewer have very advanced requirements then they switch from DCL
to Python or Perl or whatever they like.

But I really don't think DCL should be bloated with a thousands of
funky qualifiers,
