That's actually quite different from what you said.

You were claiming that with built-in keyword expansion what you want becomes /simpler/. I questioned that. Maybe it's just me, who is not a GUI person [*1*], but to me, having to start inkscape, mouse around to find the "Print" button and print feels much more cumbersome than simply typing "make print".
