I think you're right actually. I looked over the other `target` commands 
and it seems as though they all

take just 1 parameter, which makes this implementation 
superfluous/over-designed. I think the

simple string approach, where the user passes `remote <addr>` or 
`extended-remote <addr>` is better.
