why are there multiple redundant start-X subcommands for asadmin?

it looks like we have a bunch of different commands that start a named
thing.

start-domain D
start-cluster C
start-instance I
start-local-instance LI

There is also a constraint in the domain that prevents reused names...
so you cannot have a cluster named c1 and an instance named c1 in
domain.xml...

So, it seems like there could be a single 'start' command that could
replace start-cluster, start-instance, start-local-instance...

Since there isn't a 'start' command, I must be missing something.

What is it?
