Sure, I understand the motivation.  But FWIW, I already knew what  
purge meant in the varnish context.  I'm just trying to understand the  
implications of the proposed change.

I'm unclear on why we can't acquire the cached object from the CLI to  
do the purge.  I imagine the most common usecase is to purge based on  
a known url, and with the url don't we have enough information to get  
at the cache and purge all variants?
