Yes, but isn’t the issue that it is nicer for end users, who are used to the CLI to write this rather than either using the serialized forms of the  the DMR representation, e.g. either (raw DMR)
        {
            "address" => [
                ("subsystem" => "io"),
                ("worker" => "new-worker")
            ],
            "operation" => “add”
        }
or (JSON)
        {
            "address" : [
                {
                    "subsystem" : "io"
                },
                {
                    "worker" : "new-worker"
                }
            ],
            "operation" : "add"
        }
is is a lot more usable to just be able to say
        /subsystem=io/worker=new-worker:add()
