I have no answer for "why is it important". I found it just convenient;
if you see the disadvantage in adding it to emacs-28, I follow.
Personally, I know how to define that command in Emacs 28 while bug
hunting :-)

Bringing it to master then. In case of high demand it could still be
cherry-picked for emacs-28.

Best regards, Michael.
