Here, I think that start|stop should be considered a required minimum
for any of these scripts, but that any additional arguments would be
allowed as appropriate.  (Eg, I've written rc.d scripts w/
"restart", "install", "gentlerestart", etc...)

Are you suggesting that "restart" should be a required argument?
