Personally I'm against that. I see it would be somewhat nicer to have
the call just as proposed.
This is also a personal opinion but I don't like the "GET' sub-token.
By the way, since the call is to be added, what could be the proposed
prototype?
Does the name came from "sysctl" from linux? What are the other possible
arguments that could poke in?

I think it would be nice (though not necessarly needed), expecially if
the returned string is easy to parse (so one could just ask for that and
parse the results out).

I must say this is a personal opinion based on my previous coding
experiences but this is for what mailing lists are for I guess.

Thank you
