Come to think of it, what things can you think of that require more than the simple strings? I can think of one from the doc you linked to: optimisation of the positioning commands - e.g. if the dish is already pointing at 3 steps E, and needs to move to 5 steps E, then it would better to issue a DRIVEE(2) command instead of GOTO0, DRIVEE(5). I assume not everything supports the "goto angular position" command. Yeek, calibrating these positioning systems must be horrendous! And I assume we'd need to persist stuff like the E/W limits somewhere?
