Giving an identifier to a command so that it can be
invoked in multiple ways is a good idea, but it would
be much more Pythonic if a *name* could be used as the
identifier rather than a number.

Use of a number here seems to be entirely the result
of blindly carrying over a feature of the C++-oriented
API into Python.
