(s/does answer/does not answer)
But there's an intersection here: a new enum value or new argument can
be a new feature too.
If we add new commands to query features, than I'm afraid that in the
long run feature discovery will be split in query-qmp-schema and the
specific feature discovery commands.
I'm not arguing in favor of one or another way, but we need to know
why and where we're going. The real motivation behind full introspection
is to allow commands to be extended.
