I'm not sure I understand the problem.

Some of the get commands require parameters. The same parameters are
also required in the set commands, only more. Currently, they aren't in
the same order. I was going to rearrange the parameters so the set and
get commands have the same parameter sequence. The set command would
just have more. That way I can distinguish between them by the number
of parameters.
